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.
