| Sumario: | Never before published, "A Business Career" is the story of Stella Merwin, a white woman entering the working-class world to discover the truth behind her upper-class father's financial failure. A 'New Woman' of the 1890s, Stella joins a stenographer's office and uncovers a life-altering secret that allows her to regain her status and wealth. When Chesnutt died in 1932, he left behind six manuscripts unpublished, "A Business Career" among them. Along with novels of Paul Laurence Dunbar, it is one of the first written by an African American to cross the color line and write exclusively about the white world. It is also one of only two Chesnutt novels with a female protagonist. |
