Women

1940s: (Nearly 20,000 Women at the Intersections of Class Zones — Nearly 20,000 Women Living in the City at the Intersections of Comhaire-Sylvain’s Class Zones, the Women Who Moved Between Zones Inhabiting the City but Living Outside Its Visible Cartography — These Women Going to Work at 5 AM Because Their Employers Expected Them to Serve Morning Coffee at 7 AM, Often Forced to Substitute Their Education for Minimum-Wage Jobs, Leaving Traveling and Returning Home in the Dark of Dawn and Dusk): Nearly 20,000 women lived in the city at the intersections of Comhaire-Sylvain’s class zones. The women who moved between zones inhabited the city, but lived outside its visible cartography. These women went to work at 5 a.m. because their employers expected them to serve morning coffee at 7 a.m. These women were often forced to substitute their education for minimum-wage jobs. These women left, traveled, and returned to their homes in the dark of dawn and dusk — the city was built on their movement but could not see them moving, their labor the invisible infrastructure on which every other class zone depended.
