- Summary:
-
"Italian migrant share croppers worked long and hard planting, growing, harvesting and curing tobacco, often helped in the fields and sheds by their womenfolk and young children. After years of toil, they acquired their own properties, giving rise to a local Anglo Saxon myth they received government assistance to get ahead. Another fiction was that migrant women were tough as farm animals and immune from normal housewife ailments of mental stress and physical fatigue. Local medical records of the period refute this fallacy." -- Description supplied by photographer.
