The working-hours of all the girls extended from five o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening, with one-half hour for breakfast and for dinner. Even the doffers were forced to be on duty nearly fourteen hours a day, and this was the greatest hardship in the lives of these children. For it was not until 1842 that the hours of labor for children under twelve years of age were limited to ten per day; but the "ten-hour law " itself was not passed until long after some of these little doffers were old enough to appear before the legislative committee on the subject, and plead, by their presence, for a reduction of the hours of labor. –Loom and Spindle, Harriet H. Robinson Which details from the passage reveal historical context? Check all that apply. Girls worked long hours in the mill. Girls could not take breaks to eat. Some women who once worked at the mill later fought for child labor laws. Eventually, children’s working hours were limited to ten hours per day. Working conditions were very similar to those of today.
