A good part of the farm work rn Portugal is performed by the women, who see no reason why they should regard digging, hoeing arid plowing as the work of men alone. The man who owns a few acres of land will often leave its cultivation to his wife and daughters, while he labors as carpenter, stonemason or cooper, for cask-making is one of their important industries. He also likes to get a Job as a waiter in one of the numerous hotels at seaside resorts, for the country has thousands of continental and English visitors. Women share in the heavy work of Che cities as well. There are female porters, laborers on the docks, market tenders, and even women coal-heavers, fishermen, or rather flsherwomen, and sailors. They are as strong and hardy as their husbands and brothers and seem to stand long hours and hard labor as well.
