In 1871 Jennie Collins became one of the first working-class American women to publish a volume of her own writings: "Nature's Aristocracy". Merging autobiography, social criticism, fictionalized vignettes, and feminist polemics, her book examines the perennial problem of class in America. Collins loosely structures her series of sketches around the argument that nineteenth-century U.S. society, by deviating dangerously from the ideals set forth in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, had created a corrupt aristocracy and a gulf between the rich and the poor that the United States' founders had striven to prevent. Collins' text serves as a mouthpiece for the little-heard voices of nineteenth-century poor and working women, employing sarcasm, irony, and sentimentality in condemning the empty philanthropic gestures of aristocratic capitalists and calling for justice instead of charity as a means to elevate the poor from their destitution. She also explores the necessity of suffrage for female workers who, while expected to work alongside men as their equals in labour, were hampered by lower wages and lack of control by their exclusion from the voting process.
