Synopsis

""An Average Woman"" is a novel written by W. Dane Bank and published in 1916. The book tells the story of a young woman named Isabel, who is described as being average in every way. She is neither particularly beautiful nor particularly intelligent, but she is kind, hardworking, and determined to make a life for herself.The novel follows Isabel as she navigates the challenges of life in early 20th century America. She works as a seamstress, struggling to make ends meet and dreaming of a better life. Along the way, she falls in love with a young man named Tom, but their relationship is complicated by their different social classes and the expectations of their families.As the story unfolds, Isabel faces a number of obstacles, including poverty, illness, and the prejudices of those around her. But through it all, she remains steadfast and determined, refusing to give up on her dreams or on the people she loves.""An Average Woman"" is a poignant and uplifting story of resilience, perseverance, and the power of love. It offers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of ordinary people in a bygone era, and reminds us of the timeless values that have helped generations of Americans overcome adversity and build better lives for themselves and their families.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There were, of course, others in the trimming-room who were full of importance in their way, but Emmie had that same feeling she didnt care for any of them. The phrase must not be taken too literally: it must be treated indulgently and understood as an attitude, for Emmie had a heart and cared for Miss Black, for instance, as well as for Lizzie Smaile and others. Who can understand the pretty girl? Herself least of all. Emmie was pretty. Some praised her extravagantly; others merely said, Yes ... all right opinions differ. But nobody suggested she approached ugliness. Also she had a tongue which is valuable in anybodys mouth, but almost an unfair advantage in the head of a pretty woman. Emmie stongue was mostly of the defensive kind. She could hit back, defend herself with it, use it as a weapon for trench warfare, but could indulge in grenade work if pushed to it. Emmie in a shawl, which she wore occasionally going to and from work: Emmie in clogs, which she wore only on very dirty and bad days, was not to be passed over as of no or little account; but the Emmie who was dressed in her Sunday best was as likely to attract attention as anybody in Canton. Emmie shair was black and her eyes a fine rich brown, though the colour was not all at first glance. She had a way of letting you see only half her eyes to begin with, as if she were shy and looked at you cautiously, or as if there was something to be hidden till she was sure who looked.
