High Wages is a 1930 novel by British writer Dorothy Whipple. One of her first novels, it follows a young woman who rises from being a worker in a dress shop to owning her own business in the years following the First World War.[1] The novel was an instant commercial success and established Whipple as a popular writer over the next two decades.[2] As part of a revival of interest in her work, it was republished by Persephone Books in 2009.
