Gentle Breadwinners: The Story Of One Of Them is a novel written by Catherine Owen in 1888. Set in 19th century England, the book tells the story of a working-class family struggling to make ends meet. The main character, Mary, is a young woman who works tirelessly to support her family, taking on various odd jobs to make sure they have enough to eat and a roof over their heads. Despite the challenges she faces, Mary remains determined and optimistic, believing that hard work and perseverance will eventually pay off. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters, including other working-class women and men, as well as members of the upper class who are oblivious to the struggles of those below them. Through Mary's experiences, the novel explores themes of class, gender, and social inequality, shedding light on the harsh realities of life for many during this time period. Overall, Gentle Breadwinners is a poignant and thought-provoking work of fiction that offers a glimpse into the lives of those who were often overlooked and undervalued in Victorian England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
