Set against the backdrop of World War I, Dorothy Whipple's High Wages follows pioneering young woman Jane Carter as she navigates love, friendship, and the challenges of working in the clothing industry. Through her experiences of dedication, setbacks, and entrepreneurship, the story offers an insightful look into early 20th-century life and women's resilience. This edition, part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, includes a new preface by Jane Brocket and celebrates a forgotten classic from 1930.
