Synopsis

<div><i>The Silent Partner</i> (1871) and &#147;The Tenth of January&#8221; (1868) were among the earliest realistic portrayals of industrial life&#151;and social injustice&#151;in the United States. The novel focuses on Sip, a mill worker, and Miss Kelso, the silent partner in the mill after her father&#8217;s death. The lives of these two women intersect as worker and owner as they both reject marriage proposals in favor of new vocations&#151;underscoring Phelps&#8217;s vision that, regardless of class, women can be united around their right to work.<br></div>
