Women in North Troms
–Always busy
“The women were “always busy” with spinning, knitting, wadding weaving and making sheepskin traps and coarse, woolen carpets that were sold to Lofoten and to the Swedish Sámi.” (Bishop Krogh)
“You know, it was basically the women who did almost all the farming, so close to cutting wood and such. I think there were few places where it was the man who was in charge.” (Health nurse Valborg Mørch Soleng)
