Publisher's Summary
Ever since the untimely death of her mother, 14-year-old Joan Skraggs
has been desperately unhappy. Under the thumb of her cruel father and
three sullen brothers, Joan lives like a servant on their farm just
outside of Lancaster, forever cooking, cleaning, and attending to the
many demands of the home. But she has little freedom and less support
from her family for her love of reading and blossoming interest in education.
But when her father tells Joan she can't go to school anymore, it sets
off a journey that will see her become first a runaway, then a hired
girl on $6 a week, and finally her very own young woman.
Set in America during the optimistic years before the First World War,
and told through a series of journal entries, The Hired Girl is the
story of a young girl in search of real life and true love. It takes
in feminism and housework; money, religion, and social class; literature
and education, romanticism and realism, first love and sexual yearnings,
cats, hats, and bunions. And it's a comedy.
