They used to believe the men, women and children should have different duties and occupations’. The men had to act aggressive and self-confident. Success was measured by how the men were able to hold a job and how he was supporting his family. The women that were married, played the role of a “housewife” they were responsible for everyday house work, cooking, cleaning, sewing and food preparation. They spend long hard days bottling veggies and fruit, bottling jam for the winter and harvesting. If the women weren’t married they were expected to be teachers, nurses, servants or work in factories. Young boys were expected to act adventurous, outgoing, aggressive and active. The young ladies were also expected to act and look a certain way; they had to be quite and “ladylike”. This poem explains how the children were supposed to act “What are little boys made of? Snips and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails, that’s what little boys made of, what are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls, are made of”. Both boys and girls had different Duties to help around the house. The boys were responsible for collecting berries, helping harvesting and helping their father with whatever else was needed, the girl’s responsibilities were sewing, cooking, cleaning, baking and helping their mother with whichever was possible. Girls were only allowed to attend elementary school and secondary school not post-secondary; University of Toronto began to except women in the year 1880. Thought the women had to be given permission from the men to leave the house. The husband owned everything on the land of the house, even if it was purchased by the women. In the 20th century women can do whichever job or occupation they wish to be (docter, in parliament, go to post-secondary school etc.)
