Sister Carrie

"The Carrie Sisters" by Theodore Dreiser is a simple story about the 18 - year - old girl Caroline Meeber, also known as Carrie. When Carry took a train from Colombia to Chicago, there were only a few cheap items at her sister's address on her suitcase and a piece of paper. Just 18 years old, she is still "full of fantasies about ignorance and youth" (Dreiser, 7). She was afraid of the myriad possibilities offered by Chicago, one of the largest cities in the late nineteenth century.

As Dreiser becomes the first person to comply, the culture that Sister Carrie reflects is based on economic conditions. He decided the plan by tracking the move of a "sister" carry which is a young woman from his town to Chicago, and a weak attachment to her family. The goal being claimed for this trip is that Carrie needs to find a job, even if it is not a psychological driving behind it.

Boston working girl of the Massachusetts Labor Bureau (1889). In 1890, after Dreiser had imagined that Carrie arrived in Chicago in a year, women accounted for 17% of the nation's workforce and women aged 15 to 24 occupied the largest proportion of this group (Matthaei 141).

The importance of Sister Carry to women's movement lies in its ominous forecast about the fate of a woman suitable for himself in the moral desert of an American city. Carrie is an ideal target for women's sports like Chicago's Hull House and we are working hard to protect the girl from the virtues of the city. The confusion that Carrie fell into despair in her despair was a despair of conflict between ideal and reality. The charm of the noble life of the city that captured her in some of the experience the former offered to her. She has been taught how to change clothes, and there is not enough means to do something ... the more restrictions she made in her condition, it looks even more attractive. Poverty may now fully understand her
