The Sorrows of a Show Girl: A Story of the Great "white Way

Set in the glittering, grueling world of Broadway in 1908, this novel offers an unapologetic first-person account from Sabrina, a chorus girl navigating the precarious life of a working performer in New York City. With sharp wit and frank observation, she recounts the daily battles: landing roles, dealing with predatory stage-door johnnies, managing barely-there wages, and enduring the snobbery of society matrons who see show girls as little more than decoration. But Sabrina is no victim. She's quick-tongued, self-aware, and fiercely resilient, offering sardonic commentary on the theatrical industry's hypocrisies and the double standards that bind women like her. The novel captures a specific historical moment when American entertainment was coming into its own, told from the perspective of someone actually living its margins. It's a time capsule with teeth.
