Tanning to endpapers and block edge, otherwise VG uninscribed copy, clean, bright and tight.This is the "life-story of a modern business woman. The most exciting thing in fiction is the dramatic presentation of a human problem and the faithful history of a vividly experienced life, such as that of Etta Morison in Women Must Work. Made restless by the weltgeist of her time, by the many vague ideas of feminine independence current during the last 30 years, and by her own idealist, ambitious, temperament, Etta breaks away from a comfortable middle-class life in the provinces, utterly in ignorance of the real conditions of the human dog-fight for existence. She learns in a hard school, for she works in a City office, as a private secretary and companion, in Government offices, and as a land-worker. Through the irony of destiny or is it her own fault ? she loses the one man she loves. Nevertheless she achieves a lover, a child, a husband, and all her material ambitions. In an affecting final scene Mr. Aldington leaves judgment to the reader. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9
