Seth Koven examines the intersection of two disparate lives in late Victorian London: Muriel Lester, a wealthy heiress, and Nellie Dowell, a former match factory worker. Through their unlikely partnership, the author explores the complexities of class, gender, and religious devotion within the context of early twentieth-century social reform and the settlement house movement in East London.
