It is rare for a woman to hold public office in the early 20th century much less enter professions dominated by men. When women engage in "women's jobs" there is not much controversy. It is in higher earning and more prestigious areas like medicine that barriers are erected. As a result women begin to create their own medical schools, hospitals, and clinics. Even women who earn wages in ways considered acceptable, like taking in laundry or doing piecework for factories, are not always counted as part of the workforce if that work is accomplished in the home.
