In 1848, Charlotte Woodward campaigned to change laws that gave husbands the right to pocket their wives earnings. By 1870 six out of 10 working women were domestic servants. In NYC at mid- centurt, 25% of all employed Irish women and half of all African-American women worked as servants. 90% of working women fit into 11 of 451 job types listed on the 1940 census. More than 90% of all nurses, clerical workers, and domestic servants were women.
