内容説明
Between 1820 and 1860, tens of thousands of single women left rural New England to work in the factory towns of the region. After a few years, they returned to the farm, moved west, or settled in the growing urban centres. In "Farm to Factory", Thomas Dublin has selected letters from six of these women in order to provide a personal view of the first generation of American women employed for wages outside their own homes. This second edition contains a new introduction, placing the work in the context of developments in the field of women's history, and a new set of letters by Emeline Larcom of Lowell, Massachusetts. Like those in the first edition, these letters, which offer evidence that family members collectively sent money home to support their widowed mother, provide a particular perspective on early industrial capitalism and its effect on women.

内容説明
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.
