We've discussed a few "professional" or occupational directories this week. Today's pick is the Directory of Business and Professional in Richmond, Virginia (1921) available from Internet Archive.
Think women didn't work? The Directory contains 1,000 names and includes representatives of 88 occupations in Richmond. The directory including listings for women and advertisements. The women whose names are bolded are those who supported the directory financially.
Besides the great information in this directory, there is an index with a list of every woman who is included.
