Stick ladies

These women are carrying firewood. Most rural and many of the lower classes in the cities depend on wood for fuel. (Heating is not needed much here!) I suspect these ladies may be gathering to sell. From the train I have seen huts in the slums that have huge piles of sticks. I postulate that some people are the supplies.

More than anything it blows me away when I'm home and I see ladies gathering firewood around here. The pickings are slim. They have to go farther and farther.
