Did you know? Answer!
The leading cause of death for women during the 19th century was not child birth as so many of you guess!!!
The leading cause was death by fire! And, no not because their house burned down. Death by fire because of their skirts during the process of cooking over an open fire or hearth. They had so many skirts and petticoats on, they went up like a roman candle. Sad, but true!
