I worked for Westinghouse back in the day, in the “mother plant” that George himself built in East Pittsburgh. There was a group of women there that were known as the Westinghouse Old Maids because the company had a policy in the 50’s that a woman would be fired if she got married, so these women chose their jobs over marriage and stayed single.
Standard Oil of Indiana (predecessor to BP) had a similar policy. Female ancestors were ‘let go’ when they got married.
