Focusing on the struggles of immigrants in early 20th-century Chicago, the narrative reveals the dire working conditions and exploitation faced by laborers in the meatpacking industry. Upton Sinclair's vivid depiction of unsanitary practices stirred public outrage, ultimately leading to significant reforms like the Meat Inspection Act. While advocating for socialism, the novel's impact was largely felt through its shocking revelations about health violations, highlighting the urgent need for change in industrial practices and workers' rights.
