First volume title page, editor's preface, and opening pages of the Lowell Offering, a periodical of original writings by women employed in the Lowell, Massachusetts textile mills. The preface explains how the Improvement Circles began and defends the claim that the contributions are by mill operatives, with little editorial change. The issue contains a serialized story of a New Hampshire farm girl's year working in Lowell, plus sketches, moral essays, and poems. It ends with the music for 'Song of the Spinners'. There is no technical weaving content.
