Those who think of Muslim women as meek and mild should come here to the Black Sea to witness how the women work the land.
There goes our neighbour, hacking through the branches of a hazelnut tree with a machete. There goes her daughter-in-law, carrying a heavy sack of nuts on her back.
Actually, it’s the women who do most of the hard labour around here. The men are mostly manning shops, driving taxis or involved in logistics in some manner.
