Stephen Crane
Maggie: A Girl Of The Streets
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform March 10, 2018)
Maggie looks at life through new eyes when she meets Pete. She believes he has money, connections, and aristocratic manners. Her admiration for his clothes makes her hate all her dresses and scrutinize all the details of well-dressed women, including the look of serenity on their faces. She compares their circumstances with those of the "grizzled" factory women at her job: the former are protected by those who love them, while the latter grumble about babies and unpaid wages. Maggie realizes her youth and beauty can only serve her for a limited time. She hopes her "bloom" will lead to an attachment with Pete and take her away from the noise and filth of the factory and from the drunken abuse of her family members. But Maggie does not look to exploit her attractiveness by searching out other wealthy benefactors. Pete is the only man in her eyes.
