Life in the Iron-Mills; Or, The Korl Woman by Rebecca Harding Davis

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.)
