Hey there,
Women have been on the other side of the line since the <em>telegraph</em> was invented, and we served a significant role during the American Civil War and then in both WWl-WWll as well by providing this manual connection service.
Then, just around the 1960's when communication technology was starting to make us all feel a little bit closer to each other around town <em>(or around the country)</em> the working force behind all of it was mostly women.
These women would manually connect callers to each individual phone. So, that very famous saying <em>"Operator, get me..."</em> was really something people would say on their daily basis.
These innovations gave many of American women stable jobs around a growing technology that still continues to evolve.
The silk road, I do believe. lolol
