How do you think this experience changed American society
How do you think this experience changed American society? How do you think it changed the role of women?
29
The Boston Manufacturing Company carefully recruited young female workers. This could be difficult since the women would be leaving their hometowns and families, and factory laborers traditionally had low social status. The company wanted to overcome this prejudice about factory culture. Therefore, they offered relatively high wages and promised that boarding houses would have strict rules (e.g., curfews and restrictions on male visitors). The factory owners also promised "cultural activities", including concerts, lectures, and the creation of a group magazine. Many families sent their daughters to earn wages for their sons' education.

Daily Life Women/ children (as young as 6 or 7) ½ pay
5 a.m. and ended at 7 p.m 6 days per week averaged 73 hours of work per week
31
Daily Living Conditions
The women's dormitories tended to be cramped. Up to six people would share a room. One worker described her quarters as "a small, comfortless, half-ventilated apartment containing some half a dozen occupants". The cultural activities advertised by recruiters were few and far between; the women seldom experienced the world beyond their dorms and machine rooms.
