[Avodah] Women in Torah

I wonder, how could anyone who says Eishet Chayil, say that women
should go out once or twice a month? How did she buy the wool and
flax, buy a field, sell her finished cloth?

In any case, for those women who had intellectual bents, I wonder how
indeed they survived in days past. My mother, for example, I imagine
would go absolutely insane, almost literally, if she didn't have her
occupation (food safety and analysis at FDA).
