the face of Brander. What for? Because she wanted to help her family which consisted of 8 people. Jennie’s new-born child 

should have been a lesson for her. But life is full of surprises. Unexpected blow for this woman was when her father lost his 

physical abilities. Jennie again sacrificed herself for her family and daughter. The meeting with the person like Lester Kane 

was a proof for this. Of course, Jennie knew what she signed; the stamp of “dishonest woman” would follow her till the end 

of life. Was there any way out? No, because the society for this type of women was formed in this way. There was no way 

out for Jennie to fight poverty. Actually, we should agree with Dreiser and blame the society, because it puts women in 

desperate situation. Namely because of this community Jennie couldn’t show mother care to her child. She didn’t become 

an immoral woman, because there was love for Lester Kane in her heart, but its cost was high. Riggio claims in his preface 

to the restored novel that ‘her power as a woman is clearer, and we are less likely to see her as a sentimental heroine.’ She 

lost her youth, the chance of getting married as a normal woman, as if someone would propose her. Jennie expected a happy 

marriage life only from Lester, but as society didn’t accept such women, so Lester didn’t either.  We should await it, the end 

of such women usually becomes loneliness, though she had a child. She was so captivated by Lester she even didn’t notice 

the existence of child and its extinction. Yes, blow of life was when she lost her child. It’s impossible to replace your own 

child with any Lester Kane. A child like Vesta was a gift for Jennie, if only she could understand it in time. But it was late. 

However she could fill the emptiness of life by adopting 2 children and go on living. What about Lester, though he married 

a woman from elite class, but couldn’t complete his life. Jennie was a special woman, but stigmatized one. Our hope is 

women like Jennie would choose the right trap in our society. This problem occurs nowadays, too. Any person can find 

himself or herself in it, the main thing is to act to these people in right way and not to let any woman suffer. He really 

created a masterpiece and he warned us of problem of society beforehand. "For Dreiser, Jennie Gerhardt was a good career 

move. Now, we know that it is also a great novel."—New York Times. The novel that will teach us to concentrate on this 

type of problems.
