The Portion of Labor is a novel written by Mary E. Wilkins and published in 1905. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Deborah who struggles to make a living as a seamstress in a small New England town. Despite her hard work, Deborah is unable to earn enough money to support herself and her sickly mother.As the story progresses, Deborah faces a number of challenges, including a difficult love affair with a local farmer and pressure from her mother to marry for financial security. Along the way, she meets a number of other working-class women who share her struggles and form a supportive community.The novel is notable for its portrayal of the lives of working-class women in the early 20th century, and for its exploration of themes such as gender roles, economic inequality, and the challenges of rural life. Despite its age, The Portion of Labor remains a compelling and insightful work of fiction that offers a window into a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
