  • Mill Girls Sources
    New England Mill Girls Source 1 THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EARLY FACTORY GIRLS. By Harriet Robinson Harriet Robinson worked in the Lowell Mills intermittently from 1835 to 1848. She was 10 when she started at the mills and 23 when she left them to marry. She married a newspaper editor. She published her memories in 1898. At the time the Lowell cotton-mills were started, the factory girl was the lowest among women. In England, and in France particularly, great injustice had been done to her real character; . It was to overcome this prejudice that such high wages had been offered to women that they might be induced to become mill-girls. At first only a few came; . But in a short time the prejudice against factory labor wore away, and the Lowell mills became filled with blooming and energetic New England women. In 1831 Lowell was little more than a factory village. Several corporations were started, and the cotton- mills belonging to them were building. Help was in great demand; and stories were told all over the country of the new factory town, and the high wages that were offered to all classes of work-people,- stories that reached the ears of mechanics' and farmers' sons, and gave new life to lonely and dependent women in distant towns and farmhouses. The widow came with her little flock and her scanty housekeeping goods to open a boarding-house or variety store, and so provided a home for her fatherless children. Many farmers' daughters came to earn money to complete their wedding outfit, or buy the bride's share of housekeeping articles.

  • Band of Sisters Class and Gender in Industrial Lowell, 1820-1850 MICHAEL B. REAGAN
    Band of Sisters Class and Gender in Industrial Lowell, 1820-1850 MICHAEL B. REAGAN [‘The] transition from mother and daughter power to water and steam-power is a great one, greater by far than many have as yet begun to conceive — one that is to carry with it a complete revolution ofdomestic life and social manners. -1 brace Bushnell, 1851 On a late November afternoon in 1821, the land that would a few years later become the industrial city of Lowell, Massachusetts, was pastoral and quiet. A light snow blanketed the landscape, interrupted only by the Merrimack and Concord Rivers, the cascading Pawtucket falls, and a dozen or so fiirmhouses dotting the countryside. On that day the soft rumbling from the falls where the two rivers meet mingled with the sound of conversation. Two wealthy industrialists from Boston. Nathan Appleton and Patrick Tracy Jackson, were selecting the site to place their next textile faetoty. With their breath hanging in the cold November air, they planned not only to locate a factory bitt to reshape the countryside and conjure a city. They speculated that their future city might one day house nventv-thousand residents. Indeed, within twenty years lowell became the showcase industrial city of the North, known as “the city of spindles.” home to more than ao.ooo, and filled with the sound of textile factory machinery like “ten thousand windmills in a hurricane.’ Women flooded into the city, and others like it, to take advantage of the high wages and advertised moral paternalism of the corporations. By 1841, the city streets filled with the bustle ofbotttiques, book vendors and charlatans w’hile the bells from factories and churches clanged the new rhythm of the city, compelling women into their factory slot or church pew.

  • Devising Methods to Combat Gender Inequality in the Workplace Student
    23rd Annual Session of the Seoul Model United Nations ​ Forum: Human Rights Council (HRC) ​ Question of: Devising methods to combat gender inequality in the ​ workplace Student Officer: Emily Sung, Deputy Assistant President ​ ​ Introduction In 1963, the Kennedy administration ratified the Equal Pay Act1, abolishing wage disparity based on gender in the United States. A year from then, the United States Supreme Court passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which included Title VII, an act that outlawed all forms of discrimination in the workplace2. Nearly sixty years have passed, but the gender pay gap is still an ongoing issue: a woman still earns 81 cents for every dollar earned by a man, and an average man working for a lifetime in the same workplace would receive about $900,000 more than an average woman3. This disparity extends to other areas over the globe, including Spain, in which half of the working female population disagreed to the question asking if wages were paid regardless of their gender4, Japan, where a woman earns 73% of a man’s regular wage, and Denmark, with a 15% wage gap5. It is, however, not only in wage where discrimination exists, but rather in the workplace as a whole where women are degraded solely due to their gender. Men are significantly more likely to climb up the career ladder and end up with an executive role such as directors or managers than women are: in 2015, only 27 women were promoted for every 100 men, a statistic that remained nearly unchanged since then6. This opportunity gap is also visible in the gender composition of certain occupations with drastically different amounts of pay— higher paying jobs including financial managers or lawyers are nearly always filled with male employees, whereas lower paying jobs such as childcare workers or dishwashers are nearly always female7.

  • "A Strange Medley-Book": Lucy Larcom's an Idyl of Work
    ..............,. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. "A Strange Medley-Book": Lucy Larcom's An Idyl of Work MARY LOEFFELHOLZ N 1875, the Boston-based publisher Osgood & Company I issued Lucy Larcom's first and only book-length narrative poem, An Idyl of Work. Based loosely on Larcom's years (from 1836 to 1846) as a factory worker in the textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts, An Idyl of Work features a group protagonist: three young female millworkers, who share a room, are fol­ lowed as they extend their friendships to other women and, eventually, leave the mills for their various fates-marriage, independence, death. The publication of An Idyl of Work capped a significant investment of time and hope for Larcom, who had been strug­ gling to make her living as a full-time woman of letters, with mixed success, for more than a decade. In the 187os, Larcom worked alongside her friend and mentor John Greenleaf Whit­ tier on a series of literary anthologies. As she composed An Idyl throughout 1873, 1874, and the first half of 1875, Whit­ tier offered her encouragement. "Don't forget that Poem," he wrote her in March 1873; "Work on it whenever thee can get a chance. " In August 1874 he asked her again, "How about the Poem? I hope thee will imitate the 'perfection of the saints'-& keep always at it until it is finished.It is a grand ...theme, & thee can make it a poem which will have a right to live."1 1 John Greenleaf Whittier to Lucy Larcom, 29 March 1873 and 11 August 1874, box 2, Dudley Dulany Addison Collection, Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Mass.

  • Methods of Reform – the Lowell Mill Girls
    Methods of Reform – The Lowell Mill Girls Author: Wendy Schanberger, Hereford Middle School, Baltimore County Public Schools Grade Level: Middle Duration of lesson: 2 periods Overview: The Lowell Mills in Lowell, Massachusetts was often held up as a model industrial workplace in early nineteenth-century America. The textile factory was staffed by young, female carders, spinners, and weavers, who earned a reputation for “Christian modesty” and diligence. Their wages helped to send their brothers to college and pay off family debts. No workplace is without conflict, however, and in this lesson students will learn about the Mill girls’ complaints, and their methods of combating poor working conditions. By exploring the girls’ own journal of the period, the Lowell Offering, and other documents, students will see how group organization and advocacy would eventually lead to important social change. Unable to vote or even own property, the Lowell girls nevertheless helped to set the country on a path toward protecting child labor and improving working conditions for industrial workers. The Lowell girls’ activities also provide an example of the importance of women in American History.

Maury Klein relates that story with a vivid pen -the landscaped town on the banks 4 the Concord and Merri- muck Rivers that commanded worldwide attention, the healthy farmgirls who worked its looms. In 1833, President Andrew Jackson and Vice President Martin Van Buren vis- ited edll and watched transjxed as 2,500 mill girls, dad in blue sashes and white dresses, with parasols above their heads, marched by two abreast.

  • Document Set 1 - Life at the Mills
    Document Set 1 - Life at the Mills Lowell Docs: ________________________________________________________________________________ An Account of a Visitor to Lowell (1836) We have lately visited the cities of Lowell [Massachusetts] … and have had an opportunity of examining the factory system more closely than before. We had … the statements [by the Lowell factory workers] made in relation to the exhausting nature of the labor in the mills, and to the manner in which the young women…lived in their boardinghouses, six sleeping in a room, poorly ventilated. We went through many of the mills, talked particularly to a large number of the operatives [i.e. women], and ate at their boardinghouses, on purpose to ascertain [learn] by personal inspection the facts of the case… In Lowell live between seven and eight thousand young women, who are generally daughters of farmers of the different states of New England. Some of them are members of families that were rich in the generation before. The operatives work thirteen hours a day in the summer time and from daylight to dark in the winter. At half past four in the morning the factory bell rings, and at five the girls must be in the mills. A clerk, placed as a watch, observes those who are a few minutes behind the time, and effectual means are taken to stimulate to punctuality [i.e. face punishment or lost pay if late]. This is the morning commencement of the industrial discipline (should we not rather say industrial tyranny?) which is established … At seven the girls are allowed thirty minutes for breakfast, and at noon thirty minutes more for dinner…within this time they must hurry to their boardinghouses and return to the factory, and that through the hot sun or the rain or the cold.

  • The Lowell Girls
    The Lowell Mill Girls Learn It – Excerpt 1 In what follows, I shall confine myself to a description of factory life in Lowell, Massachusetts, from 1832 to 1848, since, with that phase of Early Factory Labor in New England, I am the most familiar- because I was a part of it. In 1832, Lowell was little more than a factory village. Five "corporations" were started, and the cotton mills belonging to them were building. Help was in great demand and stories were told all over the country of the new factory place, and the high wages that were offered to all classes of workpeople; stories that reached the ears of mechanics' and farmers' sons and gave new life to lonely and dependent women in distant towns and farmhouses .... Troops of young girls came from different parts of New England, and from Canada, and men were employed to collect them at so much a head, and deliver them at the factories. At the time the Lowell cotton mills were started the caste of the factory girl was the lowest among the employments of women. In England and in France, particularly, great injustice had been done to her real character. She was represented as subjected to influences that must destroy her purity and self respect. In the eyes of her overseer she was but a brute, a slave, to be beaten, pinched and pushed about. It was to overcome this prejudice that such high wages had been offered to women that they might be induced to become mill-girls, in spite of the opprobrium that still clung to this degrading occupation...
