I really enjoyed this book. It’s wild how much of what she was seeing in 1910 is still so relevant. Some good quotes:
“True social harmony grows naturally out of solidarity of interests. In a society where those who always work never have anything, while those who never work enjoy everything, solidarity of interests is nonexistent; hence social harmony is but a myth.”
“America is particularly boastful of her great power, her enormous, national wealth. Poor America, of what avail is all her wealth. If the individuals comprising the nation are wretchedly poor? If they live in squalor, in filth, in crime, with hope and joy gone, a homeless, soil-less, army of human prey.“
