The novel follows Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant, and his wife Ona as they navigate the harsh realities of the Chicago meatpacking industry. Through their struggles, Sinclair highlights the exploitation and suffering of workers under a profit-driven system. The narrative exposes the unsanitary and brutal conditions faced by laborers, aiming to awaken public consciousness. Sinclair's impactful portrayal led to significant changes in consumer behavior, with meat purchases declining dramatically, earning the book comparisons to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for its social critique.
