Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Undiminishing usefulness and interest.
I bought and read this fine collection of stories and essays from the Lowell Offering, the publication edited and written by the young women and girls who worked in the Lowell, Mass. textile mills in the first half of the 1840s, when it was first published. And I have found myself referring back to it and recommending it to others ever since. It is an important introduction to working women's literature.
Rating:  - Extremely helpful as a research tool.
Eisler's collection of pieces from The Lowell Offering is arranged in a user-friendly manner, but is limited in its content. If one cannot get one's hands on the original publications, however, this work is a great stand-in. Highly recommended as a research instrument, as articles are fully footnoted.
