The Lowell Offering: Writings by New England Mill Women (1840-1945) Paperback - 1997
by Benita Eisler (Editor)
The industrial revolution in 19th-century New England described in the words of the workers. Even after long work hours, mill women of Lowell, Massachusetts--the first female industrial wage earners in the United States--found time and energy to write about their lives and aspirations in their own magazine, the LOWELL OFFERING. These writings provide a rare, firsthand glimpse of women's lives in 19th-century America.
First line
Thinly disguised reportage, "Letters from Susan" and "Tales of Factory Life" illustrate the ways in which the boardinghouse served as a "mediating structure" in the transformation of farm girl into factory operative.
