What was life like for women in mines and factories during the early Industrial Revolution?
It was horrible. people often used women for full grown men's jobs because they were entitled to only half the amount of pay that men would get. They still had to work though because this was their only choice; either that or die. for this reason they had to work practically every day of the year. There are stories of women who would give birth in the mine and have to go to work the next day again. One of the jobs women had to do was being hurriers who pulled tubs using cains tied at their hips and between their legs tugging against certain uncomfortable places. In the factories women would work endlessy against the monotonous drone of factory machien, often causing hearing damage and the long hours and reppetetive work causing brain damage

Did the textile mill change workers lives?
In 1821, the Boston Associates purchased land and rights to the Pawtucket Canal located north of the city of Boston, Massachusetts. The Associates built several textile mills and enlarged the Canal for water power. The first mills opened in 1823, and for the next 25 years more mills and a network of power canals were built. By 1848, Lowell was the largest industrial center in America! The mills produced 50,000 miles of cotton cloth each year. The Associates needed a large work force for the busy mills. They decided to run their mills using a work force of young women recruited from New England farms. Lowell was known around the world for this innovative solution. Lowell "Mill Girls" were asked to work in the factories for a few years, then return to the farms or marry. Mill girls filled the city of Lowell, living in boardinghouses managed by the corporations. Mill life meant a hard day's work in which girls followed a strict schedule marked by the ringing of bells. Mill girls were expected to follow the company rules for curfew, church attendance and proper behavior. View the Timetable of the Lowell Mills from 1853 and the Factory Rules of 1848 to see if you could keep up with the mill girls! (click your BACK button to return here)
