Yes. And me being American, I have a lot of blind spots around this topic. (Though I hope not as many as people who aren't trying to pay attention.)
Um...I don't suppose you'd be interested in being a subject-matter-expert beta reader for my *next* Alpennia book? Protagonist is a teenage girl in domestic service who ends up being something of a catalyst between other characters. I specifically wanted to explore what my world and its magic look like to someone who isn't rich, powerful, or magical, but who rubs elbows with those who are. *Her* idea of a happy ending is to become a dressmaker's apprentice. Well, that is...after her idea of a happy ending is not starving on the streets after losing her position.
