A 1889 magazine article by Harriet H. Robinson, a former Lowell mill girl, on the history of the Lowell Offering, the magazine written by female factory operatives in Lowell, Massachusetts (1840-1849). It describes the rural New England homespun background, the arrival of cotton mills and paid work for women, the improvement circles that led to the magazine, its editors, mottos, reception and contributors. It reproduces the 1845 title page and covers the later lives of the writers; it has no weaving content.
