Size: 8x5x0; A short tear at upper spine. A definitive edition of this ground-breaking, classic American industrial and feminist novel. As well as the complete text of the novel, the volume includes a range of primary documents on the themes of work and class, art and industry, social reform and women and writing. It is one of the earliest American realist works, and is an important text for those who study labor and women's issues. It was immediately recognized as an innovative work, and introduced American readers to "the bleak lives of industrial workers in the mills and factories of the nation." Rebecca Harding Davis was considered one of the nation's first social historians and pioneering literary artists. She wrote to find social change for Black people, women, immigrants, and the working class throughout the Civil War. Throughout her long career, Davis challenged traditional subjects and older styles of writing.
