Cry, The Beloved Country the difference of men and women

Alan Paton has both men and women characters in his book. He talks about them in different ways. He talks about women as more delicate people, unlike the men who aren't delicate at all. He described one women at the beginning of the 6th chapter as having a lot of money. That is the only women that was described that way. Everyone is very poor, but he talks about it and how taxing it is on the women. They save up as much  money as they can so they can buy things they need. When he talks of the men he conveys them as being strong and not fretting over what they need to be. They are focused on creating the money, so they can support their families.
