Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Working Woman
One of the last acts of my wife's life was to arrange with Mr Unwin for the publica tion of this book. She had come across it in its original German she knew Frau Popp, whose hard life it unveils, and I well remember how both the story and the woman captivated her. She was to have written this introduc tion, but that was one of her many projects that will have to be carried out by others or remain altogether undone. She was in correspondence with Frau Popp when she died, and some of the material which I shall use came to her after her eyes were closed for ever and her heart could respond no more to earthly things. If it be that she still follows our interests, I know nothing will please her more than that this tale of the struggle of her friend should be given to English readers, associated with her name and memory.
