14. โIs anyone such a fool as to suppose that out of
six thousand factory girls in Lowell, sixty would be
there if they could help it? Whenever I raise the
point that it is immoral to shut us up in a closed room
twelve hours a day in the most monotonous and
tedious of employment I am told that we have come
to the mills voluntarily and we can leave when we
will. Voluntarily!.... The whip which brings us to
Lowell is necessity. We must have money; a fatherโs
debts are to be paid, and aged mother to be
supported, a brotherโs ambition to be aided and so
the factories are supplied. Is this to act from free
will? Is this freedom? To my mind it is slavery.โ
