Children were usually considered an asset on the plains & prairies, but many women wrote of their struggle and need for some form of birth control. Having too many children was a burden, life threatening, and many families suffered the consequences. Women were responsible for the care, moral upbringing and schooling of the children, as well as teaching basic labor skills for tending the animals, hauling water, doing the laundry, etc.
