Summary "Martha By-the-Day" by Julie M. Lippmann is a novel published in the early 20th century. The story is set in New York City and follows the intertwined lives of Claire Lang, a struggling young woman new to the city, and Martha Slawson, a working-class mother who becomes Claire's protector and mentor. The narrative delves into themes of resilience, compassion, and the challenges of urban life, emphasizing the support one can find in unexpected friendships. The opening of the book introduces Claire Lang, who is caught in the chaotic rush of Broadway during a storm as she tries to catch a streetcar. She is saved from being trampled by a robust woman, Martha Slawson, who not only helps her board but also offers her practical support and companionship. Through their conversation, Claire reveals her precarious situation—she is without means or friends in the city, having come to pursue her dreams after family tragedies. Martha, embodying a fierce maternal instinct, insists that Claire can rely on her for help, setting the stage for their growing bond and the challenges they will face together as the story unfolds.
