'We’d get sick on too many cookies, but ever so much sicker on no cookies at all.'-Sinclair Lewis, The JobIn his novel The Job (1917) Sinclair Lewis vividly describes the world of work for women in the early years of the twentieth century. The novel was one of Lewis’s first successes, praised as a groundbreaking work for having a woman as the lead character, as well as for providing insights into the lives of working women. While it was only the third book the author wrote in his own name, it established Lewis as a foremost author of novels about social realism.
