As Larramendi explained in his ''Co''r''ografía de Guipúzcoa ''written in the 18<sup>th</sup> 18th century, the whole flax growing process was women's work: “Women are in charge of the whole flax growing process. The women have the use of the land, they weed it, and even if there is not enough manure for other tasks, they always have some for their flax. They sow and weed the crop; they harvest it when it is ripe”<ref>Manuel de LARRAMENDI. ''Corografía ó descripción general de la muy noble y leal provincia de Guipúzcoa''. Barcelona: 1882, p. 59.</ref>.
