520			_a"A Engomadeira: Novela Vulgar Lisboeta" by José de Almada Negreiros is a fictional novella written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life of a young woman working as an ironer in Lisbon, showcasing themes of class struggle, social commentary, and the struggle for identity amid societal expectations. The narrative primarily revolves around the protagonist, a stigmatized girl known for her profession, who faces ridicule and judgment from her peers while navigating her humble existence. At the start of the novella, the reader is introduced to the central character through her interactions in a laundromat, illustrating her challenging life and the gossip that surrounds her. The opening scenes paint a vivid picture of her sense of isolation and the scorn she endures from other girls, highlighting her struggles to maintain dignity in a world that often sees her as less than respectable. There are glimpses of her ambitions and the societal pressures she experiences, setting the tone for a deeper exploration of her character and the dynamics of Lisbon's social fabric. This introduction lays the groundwork for a narrative that promises to intertwine personal and societal narratives against the backdrop of early 20th-century Portugal.
