Question

How did colonial women get most of the things her family needed​

Answer 1

Answer: Make them herself! Most women in colonial times were unable to go out and buy things from the store, so they would make things for themselves. This included clothes, food, and household necessities.

Answer 2

made or grew it. for instance butter was churned, dresses made from scratch, took 3 days to do the wash. things like shoes were ordered from a cobbler, but most things had to be made at home. bartering was also an option and depending on if they were in a city or town there could be a general store. women in cities had access to more, but 90% of the colonists were farmers so a majority were not in cities.
