Excerpt from Women Wage-Earners: Their Past, Their Present and Their Future
I assure you I found nothing worse, nothing more degrading, nothing SO hopeless, nothing nearly so intolerably dull and miserable as the life I left be hind me in the East End of London. Were the alternative presented to me, I would deliberately prefer the life Of the savage to that of those people in Christian London. Nothing would please me better - not even to discover a new truth than to contribute toward the bettering of that state of things which, unless wise and benevolent men take it in hand, will tend to become worse, and to create some thing worse than savagery, a great Serbonian bog, which in the long run will swallow up the surface crust of civilization.
