[Quizmonster]

Midwives, perhaps? (The 'wives' element does not mean they must be women...the word 'midwife' actually means 'with-woman'.)

[Hellyon]

Teachers?

[stewey]

[Ethel]

[dot.hawkes]

barpersons.

[black bunny]

civil servants?

[galltin]

I'd go with typists / secretaries.

[Kim A]

Actors?

There used to be some sort of statute preventing women from acting in plays, and all parts were played by men. I know that this was certainly the case in Elizabethan and Restoration period England, but I don't know if the law still existed in the 1800's.
