This book chronicles the early years of a purposefully established factory that sought to use its business practices as a force for social reform. The creation of the Wickins Fur Factory was a bold experiment in its time, and this book delves into the daily lives of those impacted by its practices and the consequent social clashes that arose. Through the personal stories of the workers, the author examines such themes as poverty, privilege, feminism, the value of education, and the overall working conditions of the time. This book will appeal to those interested in social reform, labor history, women's history, and the evolution of factory practices in the early 20th century.
