The Emerging Role of Women Outside the Family

Paper Summary:

This is a paper on the transition of women in the workplace using the Lowell Mills, of the post Civil War era, as the precursor. Women gaining a sense of unity and self-sufficiency, away from a home where they were cared for, they began to make money, and that recreated the role of woman in America.

From the Paper:

"Standing between the advent of industry and the chaos of the Civil War, the United States was ripe for progression. New England women began to leave the confines of the farm for the equally limiting, but ultimately liberating world of the textile factories. As the women adjusted to the new regiment of their lives, they left behind the duty and dependence of the family farm. From there it was the system of organization in the Lowell Mills that led to a redefinition of the family unit? "
