Issue No. 5 (July 1841) of the Lowell Offering, a periodical of writings by women mill operatives in Lowell, Massachusetts. It contains essays, serialized moral tales, poems and a shape-note hymn. Items include "Woman" on women's proper sphere and rights, the story "Prejudice Against Labor" about a factory girl facing social snobbery, essays on burial places and small talk, and engravings of St. Ann's Episcopal Church and the First Baptist Church in Lowell. It has no weaving content, but it is a primary source on the literary life and social attitudes surrounding New England mill workers.
