I married an Anglo-Tyrolean (Anglo-Italian?) girl to whom food is love and children are her life (now grandchildren). She stayed at home and raised our four children, for which they and myself are eternally grateful. BTW, why didn’t women want to compete with men in the workplace when it involved scratching the walls of a coal mine 14 hours a day, six days a week?

They worried about chipping a nail?
Because she was scratching meals up from almost nothing, washing clothes with buckets and washboard, sewing clothes...subsistence.
