Literary notes about lobbyist (AI summary)

In literature, the term "lobbyist" has been used to paint a vivid picture of both gender roles and the intrigues of political maneuvering. In The Gilded Age, for example, it is employed in a dual context that highlights economic transactions associated with political influence, as seen with both a male lobbyist [1] and a female lobbyist [2], each with identical monetary figures attached to their roles, suggesting that both genders were active participants in these power dynamics. Moreover, the narrative deepens when a character’s past connection with a lobbyist leads to significant personal entanglements, as revealed in the reference to Miss Laura Hawkins [3]. This layered use of the term reflects how lobbyists were not only viewed as key power brokers but also as figures whose professional relationships could ripple into personal and dramatic consequences.
