The Job is considered an early declaration of the rights of working women. The focus is on the main character, Una Golden, and her desire to establish herself in a legitimate occupation while balancing the eventual need for marriage. The story takes place in the early 1900-1920s and takes Una from a small Pennsylvania town to New York. Forced to work due to family illness, Una shows a talent for the traditional male bastion of commercial real estate and, while valued by her company, she struggles to achieve the same status of her male co-workers. On a parallel track, her quest for traditional romance and love is important but her unique role as a working woman, doing a man's job, makes it tough to find an appropriate suitor.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In 'The Job,' Sinclair Lewis presents a poignant exploration of the struggles faced by women in the workforce during the early 20th century. Through the character of Grace Wickham, a determined and ambitious social worker, Lewis delves into the tensions between personal ambition and societal expectations. His prose is characterized by its incisive wit and keen social commentary, exposing the underlying currents of class, gender, and economic challenges within a rapidly changing American society. The novel serves as both a critique of the corporate structures and an intimate portrayal of the protagonist's internal struggles, which are reflective of the broader feminist movement emerging at the time. Sinclair Lewis, known for his critical portrayal of American capitalism and culture, was deeply influenced by his experiences and observations as a writer in a patriarchal society. His own interactions with women and his commitment to social issues likely inspired the creation of this powerful narrative. As the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Lewis's works resonate with a sense of urgency and relevance, shedding light on the complexity of individual aspirations within restrictive frameworks. 'The Job' is highly recommended for readers interested in early feminist literature and the socio-economic dynamics of the 1920s. Lewis's masterful narrative, filled with humor and insight, serves not only to entertain but to provoke critical thought about the roles women play in professional environments. This novel continues to speak to contemporary readers, making it a significant addition to the canon of American literature. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9788026892427
