Nice to see ladies at work. I remember in Marriage of Figaro, Marceline's big speech on women's rights includes the complaint that even jobs to which women are "naturally suited" such as sewing and cooking, seem to be taken by men.
oh! I love it! "Yes Madamme, there are hundreds of seamstresses that made it possible for you to look so elegant!" Say I, another seamstress...
