32 It should be remembered, of course, that women did not only visit the above interiors. By the
late nineteenth century they also worked in them and the entry of women into the workplace
was one of the most dramatic ways in which they entered into modernity. Working women
entered a whole range of workspaces at this time, among them shops, offices, factories, sweat
shops, restaurants, offices, telephone exchange, schools and commercial laundries.
