Description Wiki
Work: A Story of Experience, first published in 1873, is a semi-autobiographical novel by Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, set in the times before and after the American Civil War. It is one of "several nineteenth-century novels [which] uncovers the changes in womens work in the new industrial era, as well as the dilemmas, tensions, and the meaning of that work".[1] The story depicts the struggles of a young woman trying to support herself. The main character, Christie Devon, works outside the home in a variety of different jobs, but the end of her story marks "the beginning of a new career as a voice and activist for other working women".[1]
Description GoodReads
Alcotts concerns about social justice, womens work, domesticity, and community lie at the heart of this provocative novel. In this story of a womans search for a meaningful life, Alcott moves outside the family setting of her best known works. Originally published in 1872, Work is both an exploration of Alcotts personal conflicts and a social critique, examining womens independence, the moral significance of labor, and the goals to which a woman can aspire. Influenced by Transcendentalism and by the womens rights movement, it affirms the possibility of a feminized utopian society.
Description Penquin
Published in 1873, this autobiographical novel has been called the adult Little Women. It follows the semi-autobiographical story of an orphan named Christie Devon, who, having turned twenty-one, announces a new Declaration of Independence and leaves her uncle s house in order to pursue economic self-sufficiency and to find fulfillment in her profession. Against the backdrop of the Civil War years, Christie works as a servant, actress, governess, companion, seamstress, and army nurse all jobs that Alcott knew from personal experience exposing the often insidious ways in which the employments conventionally available to women constrain their self-determination. Alcott s most overtly feminist novel, Work breaks new ground in the literary representation of women, as its heroine pushes at the boundaries of nineteenth-century expectations and assumptions. The novel is supplemented here with all the usual Library of America features, plus a conversation with editor Susan Cheever, and a reading group guide.
