Quote #10

She found a job as chambermaid in the same hotel in which Richard worked as elevator boy. (2.3.72)

When Elizabeth and Richard head north, they find jobs together… but they are separated by gender. As a woman, she could never be an elevator boy, just as he couldn't be a chambermaid. This division of labor (keeping the women cleaning, and allowing the men to interact with the public) is an example of gender inequality.
