Book Overview

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.

Working women

Fascinating study about the lives of working women in the Lowell mills from the development of the weaving mills in the early 1820's through the 1860's. Loved the statistical analyses provided in the book. More of a reference work than a recital of daily life, although the section on boarding house life was enlightening. Highly recommended.
