Book synopsis

Three years before the civic-minded Carol Kennicott came to life in Main Street, Una Golden was confronting the male dinosaurs of business. Like Carol, the heroine of The Job is one of Sinclair Lewis's most fully realized creations. Originally published in 1917, The Job was his first controversial novel. A "working girl" in New York City, Una Golden-caught in the dilemmas of marriage or career, husband or office, birth control or motherhood-is the prototype of the businesswoman of popular and literary culture. Introducing this Bison Books edition of The Job is Maureen Honey, a professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She is the author of Creating Rosie the Riveter: Class, Gender, and Propaganda during World War II and the editor of Breaking the Ties That Bind: Popular Stories of the New Woman, 1915-1930.
