About the author

Rebecca Harding Davis

1831–1910

A sharp-eyed pioneer of American literary realism, she is best known for "Life in the Iron Mills," a powerful 1861 story that brought the harsh world of industrial labor into American fiction. She also worked as a journalist and wrote with unusual sympathy for people pushed to the edges of 19th-century society.
