The book explores the lives of young girls who leave their rural homes to work in factories, highlighting their experiences, ambitions, and challenges in navigating a new life away from their families. The story centers around Miina, a young girl determined to find work in a textile factory as a means to escape the demanding labor of farm life. Encouraged by a friend, she faces resistance from her family, particularly her mother, who fears for her daughter's wellbeing among the "factory girls." Miina eventually departs, and as she acclimates to factory life, she struggles with the harsh realities of long hours and minimal pay. The narrative further unfolds as she discovers the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle despite the factory conditions and professionals around her. Gradually, Miina's influence encourages her peers to adopt better living habits, and she realizes that life back home among her family on the farm may offer more fulfillment than she initially thought. The novel emphasizes themes of independence, the quest for better opportunities, and the contrasting domains of rural and industrial life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
