"Prisoners of Poverty Abroad" by Helen Campbell is a social investigation written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the conditions faced by working women in various countries, particularly focusing on labor, wages, and the impact of economic systems on their lives. Through observational studies and ethical considerations woven throughout the text, Campbell highlights the struggles and injustices experienced by female workers in Europe and America. At the start of the book, the author expresses a deep commitment to understanding the plight of women workers, following a series of studies conducted on labor conditions in New York. She initiates her research in London, where she encounters significant despair among the unemployed in Trafalgar Square, painting a vivid picture of hopelessness that characterizes the lives of individuals caught in a system that exploits their labor. Through a series of poignant examples, including the story of a young girl, Nelly, and her struggles in the workforce, the opening chapters introduce the reader to the dire circumstances surrounding working-class women, illuminating the broader social issues they face in their quest for dignity and livelihood.
