In Victorian England. I'm afraid you'll need a better analogy, as it was reasonably common for women to *run* the gay bars and meeting houses in Victorian England. For example, see Martha Stacey's well-known house in Wakefield Street, Bloomsbury, circa 1870. Going back further in time, perhaps the best-known molly-house in all of pre-Victorian England was the one run by Margarat Clap in Field Lane, Holborn, circa 1725.
