Each of Dreiser’s characters in Sister Carrie search for their own
“American Dreams”-the ones offered by a growing and prosperous
democratic country. Industrial growth brought the United States a
period of prosperity during the late 1800s and early 1900s. With
factories flourishing, job opportunities were abundant. People made good
money in factory management positions and other white-collar jobs.
Factory workers, however, not only earned low incomes, but they also
worked long hours. Consequently, a wide division existed between the
wealthy and the poor.
