เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Helen Campbell was an exemplary author and social reformer whose literary contributions provided a vivid chronicle of the socioeconomic conditions in the late 19th century. Best known for ‘Prisoners of Poverty Abroad’ (1889), Campbell delved into the lives of the underprivileged in urban Europe, exploring how systemic inequities perpetuated poverty. Her writings are characterized by a blend of narrative flair and keen sociological observations, often underscored by her humanitarian convictions. Campbell’s work was not only a call for social reform but also an entreaty for global understanding and compassion. ‘Prisoners of Poverty Abroad’ built upon the themes she had explored in her earlier work, ‘Prisoners of Poverty: Women Wage-Workers, Their Trades and Their Lives’ (1887), where she scrutinized the harsh realities faced by female laborers in the United States. Campbell’s literary style combined journalistic reporting with evocative prose, allowing her to engage a broad readership while advocating for economic and social justice. Her writings remain significant for scholars interested in the intersection of literature, history, and social policy, offering a window into the struggles of the marginalized during a pivotal era of industrial and social change.
