On the other hand, most of those women were already rich and powerful. (including a more lucrative profession than housekeeping)

There are others though for sure.

She avoided about $45,000 of losses by selling ImClone stock early. Martha Stewart's net worth is over $600 million.

The fact that it was such an inconsequential amount for her really made an impression on me at the time.

Generally as a businesswoman and a brand more than a housekeeper obviously.

I agree I was mistaken though about the case.

Except companies that outsource such services and the whole service industry in hotels or such. Use less straw in your strawmen.

Of course this is often parasitic and I suspect you meant directly. Even then, thing called "gold digging" has a long long tradition. (Though being misattributed to women while it works on both sides just slightly differently. Often with more than a hint of slut-shaming etc.)

Edit: excellent. Call a thing like it is, get downvoted. People jump to conclusions, proving the point.
