About This Book
This highly original work takes a close look at working-class women in early 19th century New York, and shows both the strengths and vulnerabilities of this 'city of women'. Describing the specific moral and economic circumstances of individual female lives, the author makes vivid historical sense of what until now has been obscured by generalization, abstraction, and oversimplification.--
