Josephine was always poorly dressed and hungry, and her playground became the yards of Union Station. From this she developed her street smarts.[5] When Baker was eight she began working as a live-in domestic for white families in St. Louis.[6] She was sent to work for a woman who abused her, burning Baker's hands when she put too much soap in the laundry.[7]
