The Job, Paperback / softback Book

The Job Paperback / softback

Part of the Foundations of Feminist Fiction series

Paperback / softback

Description

Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize for literature, and a writer lauded both for his craft and his principles, wrote The Job as a statement of female empowerment, and self-determination over societal expectation.

Written in the early years of the 1900s Lewis' central character, highly unusual for the era, is a woman, Una Golden, who gains work in an exclusively male world of commercial real estate.

Golden struggles for the recognition of her male peers while balancing romantic and work life; she marries, divorces, continues to work hard and finally emerges triumphant on her own terms. Flame Tree 451 presents a new series, The Foundations of Feminist Fiction.

The early 1900s saw a quiet revolution in literature dominated by male adventure heroes.

Both men and women moved beyond the norms of the male gaze to write from a different gender perspective, sometimes with female protagonists, but also expressing the universal freedom to write on any subject whatsoever.

Each book features a brand new biography and a new glossary of Literary, Gothic and Victorian terms.
