Produktinformationen zu „Patty's Success (ePub)“

Back home in America following her European adventures, in 'Patty's Success' Patty begins to learn a little about the world of work. Patty hears about a talented young artist who wants to come to New York City to train but can't afford it. Believing it should be easy to earn enough money, Patty and her father challenge each other - if Patty can earn $15 in a week her father will pay for the artist's education. Patty soon finds it harder than she imagined to earn a decent wage, but she is determined to achieve her goal. An entertaining story in the Patty Fairfield series from prolific author Carolyn Wells, 'Patty's Success' is also a fascinating insight into views on acceptable occupations for young women in early 20th century America.-
