By A Customer
This review is from: The Lowell Mill Girls: Life in the Factory (Perspectives on History Series) (Paperback)
This collection of letters, journals, newspaper accounts and interviews of the young girls who worked in the Lowell Mills is balanced off by the thoughts of the Mill owners. Great background for the study of Lyddie, by Katherine Paterson.

Primary Source Documents Tell the Story, January 3, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lowell Mill Girls: Life in the Factory (Perspectives on History Series) (Paperback)
Essays, journals, letters, and an interesting piece of historical fiction tell this story of the young women who worked in the textile mills in New England. Timetable of the workday and Boarding House regulations of the day are enlightening - especially if you think life is hard today!
