It often seems like women do the hard work in Africa - at least in rural parts. (I think it's true in other parts of the world too. My wife does a lot of the hard work in our marriage - by being a mom!)This photo was taken in Tanzania by our friends, the Stephens. They went there on a safari recently.

Women did most of the harder work in traditional Africa: trade (barter), house (hut) building, child rearing, herding, crop farming.
Men were left with iron mongery(?), fishing (never seen a fisherwoman anywhere in the world), ...
True, toneloc!
I forgot that men are always the ones who are out chiseling & carrying heavy stones in the hot sun...
