One option could be a nurse or a doctor. There are plenty of options, this is just one of them!

Hope this helps!

Construction works.

Women generally were viewed as being "weak" and "elegant" in the history of the US, and were given jobs that were not back-breaking, or were not allowed to obtain jobs, as the US public also believed that only males should provide for the family, while the women were "nurturers" of the next generations.
