An Old South Leaflet reprinting selections from The Lowell Offering, the magazine written by female mill operatives in Lowell, Massachusetts, from its October 1845 issue. It opens with the sketch 'A Week in the Mill' describing a factory girl's weekly routine, followed by essays, an autobiographical sketch, poems, allegories and travel letters from Vermont and New York. It ends with an editorial retrospective on the magazine and notes on its reception, including comments from Dickens and the North American Review, and on the Lowell mill girls' literary and educational efforts.
