"Life in the Iron-Mills; Or, The Korl Woman" by Rebecca Harding Davis is a short story written in 1861. Set in nineteenth-century factory life, it follows Hugh Wolfe and his cousin Deborah, immigrant ironworkers struggling with poverty, disease, and brutal labor conditions. This pioneering work of American realism exposes the bleak existence of industrial workers, challenging readers to confront the human cost of progress. Through an unnamed narrator's window, Davis unveils a forgotten story of suffering and survival in the mill-town darkness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
