Partida de nacimiento cubana de 1918, donde la madre de la criatura es "de las labores propias de su sexo". Mi duda es si traducirlo como "dedicated to the tasks appropriate to her gender" (o alguna sugerencia mejor) o como "housewife" directamente. ¿Qué les parece? Como siempre, muchas gracias por su ayuda.

...typical jobs she was thus fitted for.
This is along the lines of some author notes I was reading the other day, but they referred to gender rather than class. It may fit in, try it.

This is a rather literary translation but if it\'s a registered entry you\'re translating for birth records etc. then \'Housewife\', or the more favoured, politically correct term \'Homemaker\', is adequate for this purpose.

George Rabel
: I'd vote for "Housewife", with capital letters, and forgo the PCness, since we're talking about 1918. You would not translate "secretaria" in a 1918 document as "administrative assistant", would you?

Thanks George. I thoroughly agree with you, I put the PC term in as an option for those who favour it, but you're absolutely right about the era.
