A Strong Woodcutter
Most films and TV series about rural life depict men primarily chopping wood while women handle domestic duties. However, this is a stereotype about rural residents. Both men and women in the countryside are equally hardy and take on outdoor tasks together. The woman in this photo exemplifies a resilient female lumberjack. Her clothing indicates that she is a local resident rather than a tourist. Cutting down trees is a typical aspect of country living, as many people purchase wood for their fireplaces to heat their homes instead of using central heating.
