Published in 1900, Dreiser's debut book caused a huge scandal - it was called immoral, cynical and denigrating the "American dream". Critics wrote that "to praise this novel is almost as dangerous as shooting the president." Subsequently, however, "Nurse Kerry" became one of the symbols of American realism. The main character, a young naive provincial Caroline Meeber, who came to Chicago in search of happiness, appears not a helpless victim and not a cynical little predator, but a complex, multifaceted personality. In her character, selfishness is juxtaposed with nobility and sincerity, femininity - with reasoning, and the thirst for success - with the willingness to achieve it with patience and labor.
