Daughters of the Great Depression is a reinterpretation of more than fifty wellknown and rediscovered works of Depressionera fiction that illuminate one of the decade's central conflicts: whether to include women in the hardpressed workforce or relegate them to a literal or figurative home sphere.Laura Hapke argues that working women, from industrial wage earners to business professionals, were the literary and cultural scapegoats of the 1930s. In locating these key texts in the 'don't steal a job from a man' furor of the time, she draws on a wealth of material not usually considered by literary scholars, including articles on gender and the job controversy; Labor Department Women's Bureau statistics; 'true romance' stories and 'fallen woman' films; studies of African American women's wage earning; and Fortune magazine pronouncements on whitecollar womanhood.A valuable revisionist study, Daughters of the Great Depression shows how fiction's working heroinesso often cast as earth mothers, flawed mothers, lesser comrades, harlots, martyrs, love slaves, and manly or apologetic professionalsjoined their reallife counterparts to negotiate the misogynistic labor climate of the 1930s.
