Working women
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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.
