[[Only a tiny number of women want to enter the trades where most of the nitty-gritty physical work is actually going on—plumbing,]]
We have a husband and wife plumbing team in our town- they have been doing it for 40+ years now- crawling under houses in -20 degree F temps- for hours- fixing frozen pipes- She’s a tough little woman- probably stand 5’4”- but keeps right up with her husband-
Great story of the husband and wife team. No doubt there are tough, hard-working women.
