The industrial revolution in nineteenth-century New England; in the words of the workers. The Mill Women of Lowell; Massachusetts―the first female industrial wage earners in the United States―were a new social and economic phenomenon in American society. In the 1830s and 1840s; drawn by the highest wages offered to female employees anywhere in America; they sought and found independence and opportunity in the country's first planned industrial community. Even after long work hours; the women found time and energy to write about their lives and aspirations. From their own literary magazine; the Lowell Offering; here are their letters; stories; essays; and sketches.
