I think this has been particularly potent in farming. However, much like the military, the advances in technology lesson the importance of brute strength and open the door for women to be integrated. <br /><br />I also think there remains a strong tie between class and manual labor - and this is particularly true with women. Wealth afforded the luxury to keep women from enduring hard labor. This trend has only intensified in the urban economy, where "mental" work is what is most valued, both culturally and monetarily.
