Emma Pow Bauder, a native of Michigan, was born in the year 1848. Early in life she conceived a desire to do something for the betterment of society and bring about a higher state of civilization. In order to undertake - so great a work she studied human nature in all its phases, laboring amid the vice and poverty in the larger cities of America as well as among the better classes. She spent months laboring in the slums of San Francisco that she might by actual experience solve the problem that had for so many years claimed her closest attention. Like as Solomon gave himself to know wisdom, so this zealous worker has given herself to mis sionary work, laboring that she might, if possible, dis cover the secret or hidden source of discontent. She established a mission and made herself acquainted with all phases of life. She believes that the lower classes are their own worst enemies, and that it is ignorance and vice that have put them in bondage, and not the Oppres sion of the better class of society. She writes this book, entitled Ruth and Marie; a Story of the Nineteenth Century, with the hope that it will awaken a more lively interest on the part of the people to the fact of the rapidly increasing difficulties that are now agitating the minds of American citizens and if possible suggest a remedy for the troubled nation. We will say for the benefit of our readers that the story, though a work of fiction, is clothed with living facts which have been drawn from actual experience. Believing it will set the ball rolling and accomplish untold good, we are.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
