Ragged Lady, V2 is a novel written by William Dean Howells. It is the second volume of a two-part series that tells the story of Nanny, a young woman who is forced to leave her home and make a new life for herself in the city. The novel is set in the late 19th century and explores themes of social class, poverty, and the struggle for survival in a rapidly changing world. Nanny is a sympathetic character who is determined to make something of herself despite the many obstacles she faces. Along the way, she meets a cast of colorful characters, including a wealthy businessman who takes an interest in her, a group of labor activists who are fighting for better working conditions, and a group of artists who are trying to create a new kind of art that reflects the changing times. As Nanny navigates this complex world, she must confront her own limitations and decide what kind of life she wants to lead. Ragged Lady, V2 is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a vivid portrait of life in America at the turn of the century.The entertainment was to be the second night after that, and Mrs. Milray at first took the whole affair into her own hands. She was willing to let the others consult with her, but she made all the decisions, and she became so prepotent that she drove Lord Lioncourt to rebellion in the case of some theatrical people whom he wanted in the programme.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
