Description	A Business Career is a novel by African-American author Charles Chesnutt that features the life of a "new woman" of the late 19th century; she enters the world of business instead of embracing the tradition roles of women. It explores a failed romance between two successful upper-class members. A family’s vendetta against the man who allegedly destroyed the family's fortune is revealed to be mistaken. The novel was unusual for its time as Chesnutt wrote only about white society.The book was completed in 1890 but Chesnutt, who had published only a few short stories by then, was unable to interest a publisher in it. Editor Walter Hines Page encouraged him in his writing and later published other works by him. Chesnutt's account of white society in this novel may have contributed to that failure.Since the late 20th century, there has been a revival of interest in Chesnutt. This novel was published posthumously in 2005 with an introduction and editing by Matthew Wilson.
