Bolton challenged the "men only" policies in restaurants in Jordan Marsh
and Burdines Department stores. There were separate sections set aside
during lunch for men. These men's areas received fast service because
it was presumed that they needed to be able to quickly return to their important
jobs, while women had time to wait. The women, including business
women, stood in long lines while there were often empty seats in the men's
section. This lesson will help students to imagine what it was like
to receive segregated service in a restaurant. They will read letters
from Burdines and Jordan Marsh regarding their "men only" policies, a letter
from a woman who supported Roxcy in challenging the "men only" policy, a
letter from a woman who wanted to see the "men only" policy kept in place,
and an essay by Molly Turner on Roxcy Bolton.
