It would probably fail in all these things. It was written with a definite, earnest purpose, which I trust will be apparent to the reader. I have nothing to say tending to disarm the critics. They will speak their mind, as they ought, and it is wholesome for us to have our faults pointed out. As society in our land grows older, and departs from primitive simplicity, as many are becoming rich, but more poor, the changes that I have sought to warn against become more threatening. The ordinary avenues of industry are growing thronged, and it daily involves a more fearful risk for a woman to be thrown out upon the world with unskilled hands, an untrained mind, and an unbraced moral nature.

This compelling social commentary offers a glimpse into the complexities of women's lives in late 19th century America through the experiences of three sisters. Edith, the eldest, represents the rise of the career woman, but her pursuit of independence is hindered by societal expectations. Zell, the youngest, exemplifies the frivolous nature of high society and its corrupting influence on young women.
