What was it like for women on the goldfields? It was hard for both women and men on the goldfields It wasn’t very comfortable for them at the diggings Many women died from giving birth because they got sick.

1.. They’d cook bread with butter, jams on top of the butter and bread, they made soap for their family so the women can wash the clothing of her families. Water was very hard to find so the women on the goldfields had to go down to the lake and collect water from the lake so they can drink water because they didn’t have any. Also they needed water so they can stay alive.

How did they dress? Women who came to the goldfields tended not to work the claims, but even if they did, they did not wear trousers. Women on the gold fields wore the same working clothes, and farmers' wives. They wore long skirts which covered their ankles, and long sleeves to their wrists. They had lace-up shoes and boots.

What was their job on the goldfields? Many of the women cooked and cleaned and they also washed the clothes. Some of the women sang and danced on the goldfields for the diggers. A few years later women stayed home with their children while their husbands were at the diggings. Women made butter,jams,soaps,and clothes for their family.
