The Power And The Glory is a novel written by Grace Macgowan Cooke. The story is set in the early 1900s and revolves around the life of a young woman named Margaret Powers. Margaret is the daughter of a wealthy businessman who owns a cotton mill in the South. She is a beautiful, independent, and ambitious young woman who is determined to make her own way in the world.The novel follows Margaret's journey as she navigates the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated society. She faces many obstacles along the way, including the disapproval of her father, who wants her to marry a wealthy man and settle down.As Margaret tries to forge her own path, she meets a young man named John Graham, who works in her father's mill. John is a hardworking and honest man who is deeply committed to his job and his community. Margaret is immediately drawn to him and the two begin a passionate love affair.However, their relationship is threatened by the social and economic pressures of the time. Margaret's father disapproves of John and tries to sabotage their relationship, while John is caught up in the struggles of the labor movement and the fight for workers' rights.The Power And The Glory is a powerful and insightful novel that explores themes of love, ambition, social justice, and the power of the human spirit. It is a timeless story that resonates with readers today, as we continue to grapple with issues of inequality and social justice.All week in Johnnie the white flame of purpose burned out every consciousness of weariness, of bodily or mental distaste. The preposterously long hours, the ill-ventilated rooms, the savage monotony of her toil, none of these reached the girl through the glow of hope and ambition. Physically, the finger of the factory was already laid upon her vigorous young frame; but when Sunday morning came, though there was no bellowing whistle to break in on her slumbers, she waked early, and while nerve and muscle begged achingly for more sleep, she rose with a sense of exhilaration which nothing could dampen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
