Ten Cents is a novel written by Mary Dwinell Chellis and first published in 1877. The story follows the life of a young girl named Lily, who is forced to leave her home and family to work in a factory in order to support them. The title of the book comes from the fact that Lily is paid only ten cents a day for her work in the factory.As Lily struggles to make ends meet and deal with the harsh conditions of the factory, she meets and befriends a group of other young women who are also working there. Together, they form a bond and support each other through their struggles.Throughout the book, Lily faces many challenges and obstacles, including illness, poverty, and abusive factory owners. Despite these difficulties, she remains determined to succeed and provide for her family.Ten Cents is a powerful and emotional story that sheds light on the harsh realities of life for working-class women in the late 19th century. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of women in the face of adversity and a reminder of the importance of fighting for workers' rights and fair wages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
