Watching Woman - a 21-foot sculpture of a woman rises through the floors and roof of an abandoned farmhouse near Marysburg, Saskatchewan, Canada. Sculptor Heather Benning says, "the scale of the sculpture reflects the magnitude of the work done by prairie farm homemakers, whose labour, before modern technology, was extreme".

We have not mentioned urban homemakers - their work was not as extreme as the rural women but everything was much the same without the outside chores. Those who lived in larger centers where electrical power was available had an easier time with household chores. Nor have we mentioned that during her early adult life she may have had many pregnancies to add her toils.
