Yeah but this would have been back when they didn't have women's bathrooms.

In 42 it was still Men Only. The city had to force them to let women in in the 70s and they didn't add bathrooms for them until the late 80s.

And even then apparently the woman’s bathrooms had holes in the door. They did everything they could to avoid having women want to go there
