Jezebel's Daughter
Authorship not stated
Your uncle Ephraim Wagner is dead, and his will hands the business entirely to his widow. You watch Mrs. Wagner announce two decisions the office did not expect: equal hiring for women, and a visit to Bethlehem Hospital's most dangerous patient. Chains and a whip surround the man called Jack Straw, but her bare hand on his head changes what the room believed possible, and she leaves already drafting his release.
