When Louis Comfort Tiffany,was faced with a strike by the glass workers union he hired women to try to keep up with some of his work. This turned out to be a great success. Since women tend to have smaller hands they were less frustrated doing the more delicate pieces of work. He started a women's division in his studios. This was very attractive employment for middle class women who had an artistic flare. Regardless of their achievements their careers would come to a screaching half if they ..... got married.
