No. 3 (February 1841) of the Lowell Offering, a periodical of original prose and verse written by women employed in the Lowell, Massachusetts textile mills. It contains essays, poems, sketches and reflections on genius, nature, time, Christmas, home life and the dress of factory girls ("Gold Watches"), plus a plea for mutual relief among mill women. It opens with a prospectus for a proposed volume, "The Garland of the Mills", and ends with local Lowell business advertisements. It has no technical textile content, but is a primary source on mill-girl culture and the social attitudes surrounding factory work.
