Women Who Work

"Women keep the economy moving" said sister traveler, Constanza from Columbia, South America. Connie has an excellent eye for capturing ordinary activities by hard-working women and girls. Most of the photos are hers with a few from some others as noted in the photo credit. Some women are pictured with smiles for the camera, and some are captured in the midst of their work, much of which is simply about survival.

"I hope that one day, every home in India will have access to water and a washing machine at home." (Photo and quote by Constanza)

The basket of stone is too heavy for the woman to lift on her own, but apparently, it's not too heavy for her neck and head.

Somehow, she gets it off to dump in the crusher.
