a phrase that kinda bothers me when talking about women's historical roles in europe is "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear it so often, those exact words in the same order even. and once you learn a little more you realize that the massive gaping hole in that list is fiberwork. im not an expert and have no hard numbers, but i wouldnt be surprised if fiberwork took up nearly as much time as the other three tasks combined, so it's not a trivial omission.
it's not a hot take to say that the mass amnesia about fiberwork is linked to the belittlement of women's work in geneal, but i do think there's a special kind of illusion that is cast by "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear that and think "well i cook and clean and take care of children (or i know someone who does) and i have a sense of how much work that is" and you know of course that cooking and cleaning were more laborious before modern technology, but still, you have a ballpark estimate you think, when in fact you are drastically underestimating the work load.
i also think that this just micharacterizes the role of women's work in livelihoods? cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children are all sisyphean tasks that have to be repeated the next day. these are important, but not the whole picture. when we include all kinds of fiberwork—and other things, such as making candles or soap—women's work looks much more like manufacturing, a sphere we now associate more with men's work. i feel like women's connection to making and craftsmanship is often elided.
I cant find any official sources, but I remember learning from my favorite music professor that many songs sung in homes in the medieval period were set to the tempo of a spinning wheel.
Because you could almost guarantee that a woman in the house would be spinning thread so they could knit clothes for the upcoming baby and weave a blanket to keep it warm. Or several of the other 1000 tasks that kept you and your family well clothed and warm. And the monotonous pedal of the spinning wheel makes for a great rhythm.
There are even a few 'art songs' featuring a woman spinning thread!
'Gretchen am spinnrade' is one I learned in voice lessons! Written by a 17 yr old Franz Shubert for Goethe's Faust, it is a musical monolog of a woman at the spinning wheel, longing after a man she loves but cannot have. The rhythm of the spinning wheel represents her ties to her reality and responsibilities.
The pause after she longs for just a kiss!...
Then back to the spinning wheel...

This woman was arrested for WORDS.
We should rally for her as much as the guy who actually shot someone. Push back.
