Lummox by Fannie Hurst
The story revolves around Bertha, a large, ungainly woman who works as a domestic servant and faces constant ridicule and mistreatment due to her size and appearance. Despite her hardships, Bertha's resilience and inner strength shine through as she navigates a world that often dismisses her worth. Her journey is one of self-discovery and empowerment, as she learns to assert her dignity and find a sense of belonging in a society that marginalizes her. The narrative delves into themes of identity, societal expectations, and the human spirit's capacity for endurance and growth.
