The Manpower Machines dependent on Fuel were dominant in Communities before those depending on electricity come later.

To convert maize or millet to floor, some Women had to resort to protocols because queues were long and everyone had to get theirs Grinded.

Apart from long queues, paying for services was another issue for women, some could resort to paying in kind sometimes, it will enthuse you that some women produced children out of such circumstances, every season has it’s demands.
