Women in Nord-Troms
- Always employed
«While the men spent much of their time in desolation, the women, on the other hand, were «always busy» spinning, knitting, weaving and making sausage-skin traps and coarse woollen blankets that were sold to Lofoten and the Swedish Sami..» (Bishop Krogh)
«You know, it was basically the women who ran almost the entire farm, as far as chopping wood and so on. I think there were few places where it was the man who directed.» (Public health nurse Valborg Mørch Soleng)
