"When the need for telephone operators arose in the 1870s, the assumption was that they should all be male. Within a few years, telephone operators were all female and would remain so. The pay was low and working conditions harsh. Discipline was stern. Most were young, domestic and anything but militant. Many joined unions and walked picket lines"
