“All these children worked in the North Pownal Cotton Mill in 1910. Addie, the girl in the photograph on the book jacket, on the title page, and on page 222, is in the front row. She’s leaning on the girl to her left,
probably her older sister, Annie.”

Lewis Hine is most famous for his photographs of the construction workers who helped build the Empire State Building in 1930. But in the years before he celebrated the heroic labour of these men working high above Manhattan, Hine used his photographs to campaign for social reform. In 1908 the then-sociology professor was hired by the National Child Labor Committee to document how children as young as seven were working in cotton mills and coal mines.
Over a decade he took thousands of photographs that helped convince US lawmakers to introduce new industrial regulations to protect children.
