Martha's Mother

1910
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Martha's Mother
B-

Martha's mom comes to town to run a boarding-house for Martha and other hard-working single gals.  Again, we're given a how-to, but most of us won't have country connections who can send us cheap produce.  Still, the talk about how much things cost and other details are fun.  The story ends with Martha's mother sending away Martha's sexually harassing boss.  (Presumably, Martha doesn't lose her job.)
