Jennie Gerhardt

Jennie Gerhardt follows a destitute young woman in Columbus, Ohio, who meets Senator Brander, is drawn into his protection, and is given money to tide her family over. Dreiser writes poverty, sex, and social punishment without the usual moralising. Jennie’s gentleness becomes the novel’s long, difficult subject.
