Women in the Mills of Lowell, Massachusetts In 1810, Francis Cabot Lowell returned from England. He brought with him plans for the first power loom textile factory in the U.S. He built the factory beside a waterfall on the Merrimack River. He did this so he could use waterpower to operate large looms to weave cloth. After a while, the factory turned a small farming village into a successful industrial town. When Lowell died, the factory was renamed in his honor. 90 percent of the workers were women
Life in the Iron Mills is a very strong read. It deals with a lot of issues that affect worker’s everyday lives: exploitation, greed, wages, capitalism, fairness, and so on.
