Still they kept the home-fires burning and would do the many chores, just to keep at bay the hunger that came knocking at their doors. Scalpers, miners, railway wives who lived their lives in canvas tents; wives of pearlers, fishermen who feared the seas’ cruel elements; nuns and missionaries’ wives – a source of comfort to lost souls; and no mothers in suburban streets played rudimentary roles. Social stigma thrived: saw all these tasks as simply ‘women’s work’, till the feminist reformers bargained freedom from such murk. Working women formed trade unions in the clothing industry and their wages and conditions were put under scrutiny. Nursing women rose to prominence, establishing their worth, seen by many in the nation as God’s angels here on earth. Women took on roles as teachers and in offices as well, filled the posts of budding journalists, then proved they could excel ! With the growth of towns and cities came more opportunities: shop assistants and pub workers were now women employees. But indigenous black women found it hard to understand why the white boss took their children and had cast them off their land. Some would serve the boss’s missus as domestics, shy and coy, or perhaps wet-nurse her suckling child or be the drover’s ‘boy’. And indentured women slaved long hours with children in the fields, clearing scrub and trees with men-folk to increase the sugar yields.
