In the 1880s, women primarily worked in roles such as domestic servants, seamstresses, teachers, and factory workers, particularly in textiles. Many also found employment in offices as typists and clerks, although these positions were often low-paying. Some women, especially those from affluent backgrounds, engaged in volunteer work or pursued careers in the arts and writing. However, societal norms largely restricted their professional opportunities and advancement.
