Most companies started in the past by women specialized in fashion, food and other areas traditionally viewed as women's work.

Parents reclined under striped umbrellas as black maids took the children to play in the waves. Not far away, a colored (mixed race) man, his wife and two small children enjoyed a picnic on the sand.
