Born this day in 1824: Lucy Larcom (1824–1893), poet and chronicler of the industrial age working girl.
A noted
poet in her day, Larcom is best remembered for a literary and detailed account
of her life as mill girl in the Lowell mills of Massachusetts. This important
account of life for women and girls in the industrial age is still in print
today.
Go here and here to read more about Larcom and her
contributions to Operative Magazine
and the Lowell Offering, monthly
magazines that provide a literary outlet and forum for mill workers.
