And Other Stories 2nd Edition. Originally published in 1861 Life in the Iron Mills is a classic of proletarian literature and an incisive portrait of nineteenth-century industrial America. Daviss work was first recovered in the 1970s by the Feminist Press and writer Tillie Olsen, and then expanded in the 1980s to be the most comprehensive collection of her work to date. This reissued edition includes an updated critical introduction, and shares a uniquely prescient capitalist critique with a new generation.
