History of Feminism

I've always wondered how the cooking gets done in a household when the wife is menstruating and can't do it. Even if there are other women of childbearing age in the house, women who live together may begin to menstruate in synch, so they'd all be prohibited from doing it. Maybe that's why multigenerational households have been so common around the world -- they need at least one woman who can cook while the other(s) is(are) menstruating.
