My MIL cooked over an outdoor charcoal stove for some 87 years(assuming she started cooking at age 6). She also worked some 12 hours a day between the rice field, vegetable garden and chickens. The poor woman also kept a spotless house. Not understanding the oppression under which she lived, she was unfailingly happy and welcoming of visitors.
For that matter, during the first ten years of her marriage, my Mother cooked over a wood stove and pumped water and used kerosine lamps, all in the USA at small mining camps. If things go well, in 75 years, someone will be horrified at the privations we are undergoing.
Reminds me of my Grandmother, second youngest of 20, born 1890. That woman could cook for an army, lead as first councilor her woman's group, raise four children and keep my Granddad in line.
