Where did madame C.J. walker work?

Madam Walker, whose birth name was Sarah Breedlove, worked in cotton fields as a child and teenager. She began working as a washerwoman doing other people's laundry at a time when most Americans did not have electricity, indoor plumbing or washing machines and dryers.
