We may never know her name; throughout the 1700s and 1800s, the majority of newspapers covered women's activities only occasionally, and usually that coverage focused on the comings and goings of upper-class elites (debutantes, wealthy wives of famous men, etc). Society did not encourage women to deviate from the culture's norms: this meant that in general, married women did not work outside the home, and single women worked in traditional occupations like being a maid or a seamstress or a teacher, or perhaps an author of Children's Books.
The tendency to report on women in unusual jobs became more frequent after 1920 (when women got the vote). I have noticed that during the early 1920s, newspapers began finding and reporting on women who worked in non-traditional occupations, including engineering, law, and what we today would call construction. The early to mid-1920s were a period of time when many social norms were being challenged. A small number of working-class women were able to find work as mechanics, radio installers, carpenters, etc. Usually, these women were taught the trade by a husband or brother and entered the family business. But we do not really see very many women entering the building trades, or in occupations such as Plumbing, until the late 1960s to early 1970s.
