I think there is another working mother mentioned, although I think
perhaps she worked out of the home:  Luna's mother.  And look
what happened to her - her spell went badly wrong and she blew
herself up.  Unlike the competent twins, who regularly blow things
up and use extremely dangerous ingredients, the only woman we
hear of who invents new things kills herself in the process.

Sigh.

I don't like that I agree with you, but I certainly see your point.
