Publisher's Synopsis
Loom And Spindle, Or Life Among The Early Mill Girls is a book written by Harriet Jane Hanson Robinson in 1898. The book provides a detailed account of the life of mill girls in the early 19th century, particularly in Lowell, Massachusetts. Robinson, who worked in the mills herself, shares her personal experiences and observations of the working conditions, wages, and social life of the mill girls.In addition to her own experiences, Robinson includes a sketch of the Lowell Offering, a literary magazine written by mill girls, and profiles some of its contributors. The Lowell Offering was unique in that it was written entirely by women and provided an outlet for their creative expression. Robinson's book sheds light on the important role that women played in the early industrialization of America and the struggles they faced in the workplace.Overall, Loom And Spindle, Or Life Among The Early Mill Girls is a valuable historical account that provides insight into the lives of working-class women in the early 19th century.
