Howard Zinn Quote
At Lowell, a Female Labor Reform Association put out a series of Factory Tracts. The first was entitled Factory Life as It Is By an Operative and spoke of the textile mill women as nothing more nor less than slaves in every sense of the word! Slaves, to a system of labor which requires them to toil from five until seven o’clock, with one hour only to attend to the wants of nature—slaves to the will and requirements of the ‘powers that be.’ . . .
