History
In the 1920s, Palestinian agriculture was central to rural life, with fruit harvesting being a significant activity, particularly for crops like olives, citrus fruits, figs, and grapes. These fruits were staples in the Palestinian diet and economy, often cultivated in family-owned orchards.
Palestinian women played a crucial role in the harvest. They commonly carried baskets of fruit on their heads as a practical and efficient way to transport the produce from the fields to their homes or markets. This method allowed them to carry heavy loads while keeping their hands free for other tasks. The practice also reflected the cultural and social customs of the time, where women were deeply involved in agricultural work, embodying both economic contribution and traditional gender roles within the community.
