Before she became a beloved author, Louisa May Alcott worked as a nurse, teacher, seamstress, governess, and domestic servant. In this 1873 semi-autobiographical novel, Christie Devon seeks employment outside the home. She faces trials in a variety of jobs, to grow into a new role: “A voice and activist for other working women.”
