Hopkinson (Francis Hopkinson) Tom Grogan Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Grogan Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer, and David Widger "Tom Grogan" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the indomitable character of Tom Grogan, a woman who operates as a stevedore and must navigate the challenges of her male-dominated profession, including union pressures and rivalries while striving to support her family. The opening of the novel introduces Babcock, a contractor anxiously awaiting Tom Grogan's work on a crucial sea-wall project. As he grapples with the delays caused by Grogan's absence, we are introduced to her forceful personality and impressive capabilities through her commanding presence on the job site. Tom Grogan is depicted not only as a hardworking stevedore but also as a mother fiercely committed to her children's welfare. The narrative immediately sets up the conflict between Grogan's commitment to her work and the societal challenges she faces due to her gender, setting the stage for a broader exploration of gender roles and labor dynamics.
