Crane struggled to make a living as a free-lance writer, contributing sketches and feature articles to various New York newspapers.[55] In October 1892, he moved into a rooming house in Manhattan whose boarders were a group of medical students.[56] During this time, he expanded or entirely reworked Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, which is about a girl who "blossoms in a mud-puddle" and becomes a pitiful victim of circumstance.[57] In the winter of 1893, Crane took the manuscript of Maggie to Richard Watson Gilder, who rejected it for publication in The Century Magazine. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2068.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2068.txt
