Women Harnessed to Oxen in Swiss and German Fields
A narrator recalls seeing peasant women in Switzerland and Germany forced into grueling farm labor under heavy loads. Women carry hay stacks and walk long hours while men rest nearby, earning 30 to 35 cents daily. Bulgaria is described as even harsher, with women threshing grain under burning sun while brothers supervise. A Bulgarian milk seller in Heslesberg boards a dog-drawn cart, hoping to migrate to America with her husband Hans, who is a shoe maker but cannot save enough. The piece ends with the woman still toiling in Heidelberg, tethered to the cart and dog, selling milk at six cents a quart.
