Rebecca Harding Davis’s story “Life in the Iron Mills” is considered one of the first fictional novels to use realism and bring to life a delineated lower class and issues relevant to women.

Mostly, the definitive reason given is so that they can make ends meet in the modern society where the cost of living has to be supplemented by an extra sacrifice to devote more into work.

This is reflected in the life of a couple, Mathilde and Mr. Loisel, who are mainly focused on in the story and considered to be part of the working class.

Barbara Ehrenreich would make a bad representative of the working poor because she lacks three major things that a woman of that class would actually possess. Ehrenreich doesn't meet the true qualifications of a working class woman: she lacks the background, she lacks respect of the money she earns, and she lacks certain personal or social qualities that ordinarily are possessed by the working poor.
