註釋
A powerful examination of women in the late 19th-century workplace. Despite coming from a middle-class background, Richardson had to work in a factory to support herself for a time, and seems to have become truly familiar with life of an impoverished boarding-house shift worker--although some contemporary critics argue that she was actually a paid researcher hired to investigate the situation of working girls. Regardless of its origins, this first-person account is an unflinchingly realistic look at the hazards faced by struggling young women in the workplace: sexual harassment, abuse by management, malnutrition and exhaustion, drug use, etc. [PRBM].
