'Life in the Iron-Mills; Or, The Korl Woman' is a short novel by Rebecca Harding Davis that is set in the industrializing America of the 19th century. The protagonist, Hugh Wolfe, is a Welsh immigrant who works in one of the town's iron mills. He also has exceptional talent in sculpting korl, a byproduct of iron.

It's a sharp critique of the American dream and provides significant insights into the living conditions and exploitation faced by immigrants and laborers.
