PASSAGE:

Much has been written and spoken in woman's behalf, especially in America; and yet a large class of females are, and have been, destined to a state of servitude as degrading as unceasing toil can make it. I refer to the female operatives of New England...who are in fact nothing more nor less than slaves...to a system of labor which requires them to toil from five [a. m.} until seven o' clock [p. m.], with one hour only to attend to the wants of nature, allowed...

...Then too, when she is at last released from her wearisome day's toil,...she must...be subjected to the manifold inconveniences of a large crowded boarding-house...that...will not ensure to her the common comforts of life; she is obliged to sleep in a small comfortless, half ventilated apartment containing some half a dozen occupants each...

...we will soon show these drivelling cotton lords, this mushroom aristocracy of New England, who so arrogantly aspire to lord it over God's heritage, that our rights cannot be trampled upon with impunity; that we WILL no longer submit to that arbitrary power which has for the last ten years been so abundantly exercised over us.

From a tract written by women workers in a Lowell,
Massachusetts textile mill, 1845
