What is Marie Beginning about?

Marie Betty Svobodna, typist from Brooklyn, aged about 18, is an innocent abroad in a world she never made. Her solution is to remake it according to her own lights. She gets the first job she applies for, although she has neither the background nor the experience required, by the simple expedient of threatening to blackmail the girl who is interviewing her.From then on her rise is rapid. Disarming everyone with whom she comes in contact by her clear-eyed, cold candor, she leaves behind her a trail of shattered lives and objects, some of which are subsequently put back together in new and interesting patterns. By the time she confronts the majority stock holder of the shoe company for which she works, and evil old man who has successfully terrorized and tortured scores of girls, Marie is more than a match for him, and even he becomes merely a further stepping stone for her.
