Where did she live? Have you written about the actual home she lived in? Describing what she lived in and what it looked like can help.
We tend to think all houses are the same, but they aren't, especially as you think about location and era. Even today, you may live with something you take for granted, for example, a basement or attic, but depending on where someone else lives, they may not enjoy those features in their home (I've never lived in a home with a basement).

House research is a great addition to her story. Even if her house was a tenement. Her address might be found in a census, city directory, or tax list. Even if you don't have a photo, you might find a description in a library's local history collection or in an archive photo collection.

I am adding this to my prompts for women. While I have considered household "chores" and the work entailed, I haven't ever considered the space. Thank-you!
Thank you, Karla!
