The book presents three independent stories about working-class women in Bridgepoint, a fictional town based on Baltimore. "The Good Anna" follows a strong-willed German servant managing households and relationships. "Melanctha" traces a young mixed-race woman's quest for knowledge and meaning through love and loss. "The Gentle Lena" completes the trio. Through straightforward, repetitive prose, Stein explores themes of power, friendship, female bonding, and struggles for self-fulfillment in early twentieth-century America.
