I recently realized you never hear of old-timey/classical women composers. Surely they were around?

    But seriously, that was prolly similar to answers you would have gotten from people of that day, sadly. :/

        Same for men, but men’s work and women’s work was different for good reasons and the people who write history rarely wrote about either (unless the subject is a noble.). If they did write about peasant work, it would have been men’s work, not women’s work. There’s a good chance you should read slave above, but free men who weren’t nobles, also had to work hard
