Technology removed the need for basic women's roles, and they had to
invent new ones. Women no longer spin, weave, knit, crochet, preserve
food, etc. When food alone was over 1/3 of the family budget, baking
bread, making sauerkraut and churning butter was a real economic
contribution, not to speak of quilting, hooking rugs and doing laundry
by hand.

Modernization left women with nothing to do to fill their time.
