farmwives
Agricultural household women
Farmwives is the plural of farmwife—a woman married to a farmer, typically one who shares in the work of running a farm household.
The term evokes a traditional image of rural domestic labor: tending gardens, raising poultry, preserving food, and managing the home while her husband works the fields.
The farmwives sold eggs and butter at the market.
