The Job is an early work by American novelist Sinclair Lewis. It is considered an early declaration of the rights of working women. The focus is on the main character, Una Golden, and her desire to establish herself in a legitimate occupation while balancing the eventual need for marriage. The story takes place in the early 1900-1920s and takes Una from a small Pennsylvania town to New York. Forced to work due to family illness, Una shows a talent for the traditional male bastion of commercial real estate and, while valued by her company, she struggles to achieve the same status of her male coworkers. On a parallel track, her quest for traditional romance and love is important but her unique role as a working woman, doing a man's job, makes it tough to find an appropriate suitor.

Sinclair Lewis

PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 1930

Romancista e crítico norte-americano, nascido a 7 de fevereiro de 1885, no Minnesota, e falecido 10 de janeiro de 1951, em Roma. Em 1902 foi estudar na Oberlin Academy mas acabou por se mudar para a Universidade de Yale, onde se formou em 1908. Entretanto participou na Yale Literary Magazine. Após os estudos trabalhou em publicidade, não deixando, no entanto, de se dedicar à escrita, atividade a que mais tarde se veio a dedicar a tempo inteiro. Foi o primeiro escritor do seu país a ser galardoado com um Prémio Nobel, em 1930. O prémio consagrava uma obra literária representativa da vida americana. Main Street (A Rua Principal, 1920) Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927) e Dodsworth (1929) são as obras de maior destaque.
