The Mill Girls of Lowell, Massachusetts
Manage episode 284116020 series 2869622
For a while, Lowell, Massachusetts, was one of the most prosperous manufacturing towns in the world. Today, its wealth has faded. But it leaves behind the story of its "mill girls", the women and girls who worked in its textiles factories and organized for a better world. Hell, it turns out, hath no fury like a woman scorned by capitalism. From the ashes of one industry, we can learn how to make our world better.
