The Servant Girl Question is a novel written by Harriet Prescott Spofford and published in 1881. The book is set in the late 19th century and explores the lives of young women who work as domestic servants in New England. The novel centers around the character of Sarah Tracy, a young woman who comes from a poor family and is forced to work as a servant in order to support herself and her siblings.As Sarah navigates the challenges of her job, she becomes increasingly aware of the injustices and exploitation that many female servants face. She also becomes involved in a love triangle with two men, one of whom is her employer, and must navigate the complexities of social class and gender roles in order to find happiness.The Servant Girl Question is a powerful critique of the social and economic systems of the time, and a call for greater rights and protections for working women. It is also a poignant and engaging story of love, ambition, and the struggle for self-determination in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
