Butikspiger

I starten af 1900-tallet flytter veninderne Lou og Nancy fra deres provinsielle fødeby og ind til storbyen for at finde et arbejde, der kan betale sig. Lou arbejder som strygerske på et vaskeri og tjener godt på at stryge skjorter for dem, der har råd til det. Nancy derimod tjener ikke halvt så meget som Lou i den butik, hvor hun sælger kniplinger. Nancy ville imidlertid nødigt bytte med Lou. Hvad er chancerne for at møde en millionær og gifte sig til penge, hvis man står i dampene på et vaskeri dagen lang?

”Butikspiger” indeholder en lang række finurlige og humoristiske noveller, der hver især tegner portrætter af arbejdende unge kvinder. Som O. Henry så fint understreger, er kvinderne og deres drømme vidt forskellige, selvom omverdenen så gerne vil sætte dem i bås under betegnelsen ’butikspiger’.

Bogen udkom første gang i 1907.

William Sidney Porter (1862-1919) var en yderst produktiv amerikansk forfatter, som skrev en lang række humoristiske noveller under pseudonymet O. Henry. Hans mest berømte fortællinger er "Cabbages and Kings", "The Voice of the City" og "Strictly Business." Til ære for O. Henry og hans store bidrag til litteraturen, uddeles der hvert år en litteraturpris med hans navn til novelleforfattere.
