What was the double responsibility of working women?

Correct answer: Working outside the home and caring for the household and family

During the French Revolution, many women earned wages or worked outside the home, while they were also expected to care for the house, children, and family. Thus, their double responsibility was paid work along with domestic and family care. Running the state or fixing taxes was not the role of ordinary working women. Exam tip: remember double responsibility as work plus household duties.
