Originally anonymous, it follows a former small-town teacher who arrives alone in New York City, surviving on meager wages. She moves between boarding houses and works grueling twelve-hour shifts in box-making, flower-making, and sewing factories, experiencing starvation, harsh conditions, and tragedy. The narrative reveals the brutal realities of early twentieth-century working women's lives as she struggles toward a more respectable livelihood. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
