All very true. whether a single man or woman, there are tasks that are more
difficult or impossible simply because you are alone. The differences
between
the sexes in upper body strength etc, can be made up for with tools in most
cases and the things you need help with, a single man would need help with
as well.
Don't let the prospect get you down, good homesteader creativity will get
you through most instances, and good neighbors can get you through the rest

Roxann; I know what you mean. I don't think it's any harder as a woman;
I have a tractor that, in many respects, is a good substitute for a
strong man :-) There are many homestead jobs that are hard to do alone,
though. Jobs that are SO much easier if you have someone on the other
end...turning the electric fence on and off while you fix/test it a
quarter mile away, carrying the other end of a 4x8 piece of plywood, etc.
