Woman's Story - No More Children - Join Co-op
At first you spend one day a week learning at the textile center,
taking your younger daughters with you. You have not earned any
money yet, since you are just beginning. Your husband missed
your help in the fields and is impatient with you to earn some money
to make up for time away from your work. In addition to field
work you grind grains and cook food, carry wood and water, wash clothes
and care for your small children.
Also at the center is a reading class. You would like to go to it. You had one year at a mission school when you were young, and you remember how exciting it was. This would mean almost another full day away from home.
You and your husband discuss whether or not you should take the reading class.
If you decide to take the reading class, continue your story here.
If you decide not to take part in the class, continue your story here.
