Between 1820 and 1860, tens of thousands of single women
streamed from rural New England to find work in the burgeoning
factory towns of the region. In "Farm to Factory" Thomas Dublin has
selected five sets of letters in order to provide a personal view
of the first generation of American women employed for wages
outside their own homes. The letters he has selected provide a
unique perspective on early industrial capitalism and its effects
on women.
The second edition of what has become a classic work contains a
new introduction, placing the women's correspondence in the context
of broader economic developments in early-nineteenth-century New
England, and a new set of letters written by Emeline Larcom from
Lowell, Massachusetts. Like thos in the first edition, these
letters will lure you back in time, offering a broadened view of
women's lives in the nineteenth century.
