Hester Prynne, the protagonist of Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter," worked as a seamstress in the Puritan settlement of Boston. After being shunned by the community due to her adultery, she used her skills to support herself and her daughter, Pearl. Her work, while necessary for survival, also became a means of expressing her identity and resilience in the face of societal judgment.
