In the years between 1820 and 1860, the rise of the cotton textile industry in New England altered women's working and living patterns. Thousands of single, young women left their homes to work in the mill towns and to live together in the company boardinghouses. This work details the lives of this first generation in Lowell, Massachusetts. In this prize-winning study, Thomas Dublin explores, in carefully researched detail, the lives and experiences of the first generation of American women to face the demands of industrial capitalism. Dublin describes and traces the strong community awareness of these women from Lowell and relates it to labor protest movements of the 1830s and '40s.
