HIST 150 Dr. Schaffer
Primary Sources on Women in the Textile Industry
Question to think about: Do you think that leaving home to work in a
factory was an overall positive or negative experience for women in
the early 19th
century? (Use examples from both your textbook and
primary sources to back up your argument.)
For background on Lowell and the early attempts by workers there to
organize in order to increase wages and improve working conditinos,
see Out of Many, pp. 307‒08, 319‒21 and 325‒27.
