"Tom Grogan" is a novel written by Francis Hopkinson Smith and published in
1896. It became the bestselling book in the United States that year. The story
revolves around Tom Grogan, a stevedore who dies from an injury, leaving his
widow to take over his name and business. She faces opposition from rival
stevedores and labor union delegates who are jealous of her success. The novel
portrays her resilience and determination in the face of blackmail, arson, and
attempted murder. The book was serialized in The Century Magazine and later
published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. It received positive reviews and was
praised for its portrayal of a strong female protagonist. The novel was
adapted into a play in 1896, and an art print of the book cover is held in the
Library of Congress.
