L'atelier de Marie-Claire | 
L'atelier de Marie-Claire (Marie-Claire's workshop) is Marguerite Audoux's second semi-autobiographical novel. She describes the life of seamstresses working in a sewing workshop in 1910s Paris. It's a woman-centred world, with a completely different outlook on life, compared to the upper-class point of view often found in novels.
The book was published in Talents hauts's Les plumées collection for forgotten classics by women writers.

ETA: I don't think L'atelier is available in English, but it is written in reasonably simple French. Intermediate French learners should be able to read it in the original.
