A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812
The industrial revolution in nineteenth-century New England, in the words of the workers.
The Mill Women of Lowell, Massachusetts―the first female industrial wage earners in the United States―were a new social and economic phenomenon in American society. In the 1830s and 1840s, drawn by the highest wages offered to female employees anywhere in America, they sought and found independence and opportunity in the country's first planned industrial community.Country | USA |
