It is one of \"several nineteenth-century novels which uncovers the changes in women's work in the new industrial era, as well as the dilemmas, tensions, and the meaning of that work.\" 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.\" The character David Sterling is loosely based on Alcott's friend, Henry David Thoreau.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisa May Alcott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 154132241X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541322417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.53d","brand":"Louisa May Alcott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180275753215,"sku":"9781541322417","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91e28063-4be6-4e48-9a1e-596dd0e044c3.jpg?v=1712897795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/work-louisa-may-alcott-9781541322417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
