peasant women
Village working women
Peasant women are female members of the peasant class—agricultural laborers or small farmers in rural, often pre-industrial societies.
The phrase typically appears in historical or anthropological contexts: Peasant women carried water from the well each morning.
It may romanticize rustic simplicity or highlight the particular burdens women faced in subsistence farming communities.
