Though I was unable to attend class last Wednesday due to the flu sickness, my topic of interest concerning Dos Passos's third book, The Big Money (unable to italicize for some reason?),is the gender degradation of the female characters,such as "Margo Dowling",through the eyes of "Charlie",society during the 1920's, and the limited job market of that time period.
