A Woman’s Burden: A Novel by Fergus Hume is a work of fiction likely written in 1901. The novel opens with a dramatic scene on Waterloo Bridge, where various characters are thrust into a dark and gritty narrative marked by themes of poverty, desperation, and crime. The central character introduced in this opening is Miriam, a woman of poverty who intervenes to save an elderly gentleman from an attempted robbery by a man named Jabez, setting off a chain of events that involves crime, survival, and complex human dynamics. At the start of the story, the atmosphere on Waterloo Bridge is thick with fog and foreboding, reflecting the struggles of the city’s downtrodden. Miriam’s selfless act of saving the gentleman from a dire fate reveals not only her physical bravery but also hints at deeper struggles and motivations tied to her relationship with Jabez. The gentleman later revealed to be Mr. Barton, becomes intrigued by Miriam and offers her assistance, which introduces a tension-filled relationship filled with mutual reliance and latent conflict. This sets the stage for a narrative woven around themes of social class, moral ambiguity, and the burdens carried by women like Miriam, suggesting her complex journey ahead in a world rife with challenges
