Type-Writer Girl

(under the pseudonym Olive Pratt Rayner) In the words of Juliet Appleton’s boss, There is no more pathetic figure in our world today than the common figure of the poor young lady, crushed between classes above and below, and left with scarce a chance of earning her bread with decency. At just 23 years old, this college-educated woman finds herself navigating the harsh realities of late Victorian England. With no funds and a daunting struggle for survival in London, she relies on her resourcefulness and two revolutionary tools of the time a bicycle for freedom of movement and a typewriter for self-expression. Join Juliet on her journey as she confronts the Darwinian Battle of Life and fights to carve out her place in a society that seems determined to keep her down. (Summary by Grant Hurlock)
