Work A Story of Experience, first published in 1873, is a semiautobiographical novel by Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, set in the times before and after the American Civil War.It is one of "several nineteenthcentury novels [which] uncovers the changes in womens work in the new industrial era, as well as the dilemmas, tensions, and the meaning of that work". The story depicts the struggles of a young woman trying to support herself. The main character, Christie Devon, works outside the home in a variety of different jobs, but the end of her story marks "the beginning of a new career as a voice and activist for other working women".The character David Sterling is loosely based on Alcotts friend, Henry David Thoreau.
