Ok, fair enough I never knew this was a common practice. I was thinking more about today when I made my comment

What makes you think it was common practice? Exceptions are a thing…

For an example of it being not just common but in some cases required to dismiss women when they married, see "The Marriage Bar" at https://civilservant.org.uk/women-history.html

I'm talking about forming all-married women businesses. I'd be shocked if that was common, but if you have data showing otherwise, I'm happy to be corrected...
