Marie Louise Van Vorst (1873-1936) was an influential American writer, journalist, and social reformer. Known for her incisive investigations into the lives of the working class, she often collaborated with her sister-in-law, Bessie Van Vorst. Together, they authored "The Woman Who Toils" (1903), a seminal work that shed light on the harsh realities faced by female factory workers in the early 20th century. Van Vorst's commitment to social justice extended beyond journalism; her novels and short stories poignantly depicted the struggles of the poor and working-class individuals, advocating for better labor conditions and social reform. Her literary contributions and reformist zeal made her a significant figure in the landscape of American social activism and literature.
