Life in Iron Mills
A short story/novella that does a great job exposing the injustices suffered by iron mill workers in the nineteenth century. Rebecca Harding Davis's commitment to realism tears away any romanticized notions of these laborers' awful working conditions. She incorporates several intriguing ideas into her piece, including the dehumanization of the working class's bodies and minds, the unfortunate importance of money to those who will never have it, and the sheer unfairness of industrialist capitalism for those born in unfavorable positions. I also appreciated the slight feminist themes in Life in the Iron Mills.
My two-star rating stems from my own preference against Davis's rather drawn-out writing style, as well as her overt reliance on religious salvation. Of course the message of Life in the Iron Mills matters. I just did not like its delivery much.
