The Gilded Age Editor

Because she could read, Jenny was assigned as a collator in the printing department, earning $22 a month.

She envied the female typists in the editorial office upstairs.

They worked all day in the clean editorial office, not having to toil in the smelly factory, and their salary was higher, enough to even buy the gold necklaces in the department store window.

But such good positions required either money to give gifts to the secretaries, or a recommendation letter from someone with status.

Unfortunately, Jenny was still renting a room in her relative's attic, with pockets emptier than her face, and no one to help as far as she could see.

Her parents, farming far away in Pennsylvania, also wrote to advise her not to aim too high, but to find a skilled craftsman to marry and settle down.

Yet New York outside her window was so bustling, Jenny found those craftsmen too rough and too poor.

She felt unwilling, but that night she accidentally hit her head and fell unconscious.

After regaining her memory, Jenny realized that her previous life had been a text editor in another world.

Things seemed to become not so simple.
