Arthur is a novel written in the mid-19th century that explores the harsh realities faced by seamstresses and the struggles of women in a society that often overlooks their plight. The story primarily revolves around the character of Lizzy Glenn, a young seamstress seeking work and navigating the challenges of poverty, while also dealing with the deeper issues of societal expectations and personal sacrifices. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the vulnerable position of women forced to rely on needlework for survival. In a dismal Boston clothing store, Lizzy seeks work, encountering both the harsh treatment from store owners and the meager compensation for her labor. In juxtaposition, readers also learn about Mrs. Gaston, another seamstress, whose own struggles include caring for her sick child while trying to make ends meet. The narrative paints a poignant picture of the relentless toil seamstresses face as they battle in a labor market that offers little hope for a better future. The work showcases not only the economic hardships these women endure but also their resilience and the emotional bonds they share, setting the stage for further developments in their intertwined lives.
