The First Generation of New Zealand Women

The First Generation of New Zealand Women

The majority of colonial women were working class. Many of the single, working class women were servants, seamstresses or tailoresses. Married, working class women both brought up a family and went out to work whether on a factory, or handling a cross-cut saw on a farm. There were a few upper class women who did no manual work and employed servants, and there were a few middle and lower class women who did not go out to work - they were their own servants.
