Introduction
Portion of Labor, The, by Mary E. Wilkins (1901). The scene of this story is laid in an industrial center of New England and all the characters depicted are more or less closely connected with a great shoe factory. Andrew Brewster, the heroine’s father, is a patient, gentle New Englander, dignified in the presence of adversity, yet keenly sensitive withal, while his wife, who is of coarser fibre and somewhat vulgar, is redeemed by her fierce pride in her beautiful daughter. Ellen Brewster stands out a delicate flower, from the coarser growth around her and the author traces her development into womanhood, while her aspirations and creeds as a young girl are resolved into a spiritual force, which sends her into the factory with uplifted head and exalted soul and makes her the backbone of her father, and the stern judge of her homely lover. The author draws in Ellen, a creature of grace, daintiness and refinement, who is gifted with spiritual and intellectual strength and who assumes the rôle of an industrial Joan of Arc, playing an important part in initiating a strike and later in advocating its termination. She rejects her gentle but commonplace lover and in the end contracts a love-match with a rich and eligible man. The keynote of the story seems to be that of the ideal womanhood finding its highest development and recompense in fulfilling with dignity and devotion a commonplace and unlovely destiny. And the author aims to bring the reader to a realization of the thought that to be a part of labor is greater than to be the highest product of labor.
