Mary Ellen's Bold Stand for a Dress and Dignity
Mary Ellen Flynn, a sixteen year old caretaker of three younger siblings, confronts her father Flynn over funds for a new dress. She negotiates pay and a job at Neal's, stages a dramatic protest by tampering with his clothes, and earns a path to independence with support from neighbor women. Flynn relents, paying for supper and backing off as Mary Ellen begins work.
