Prize-winning social origins study about how the employment of women in the mills (1826-1860) enabled women to enjoy social and independence unknown to their mothers' generation. Dublin explores, in carefully researched detail, the lives and experiences of the first generation of American women to face the demands of industrial capitalism, and describes and traces the strong community awareness of these women from Lowell, relating it to labor protest movements of the 1830s and '40s.
