A Voice From The Factories (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169181717)

A Voice From The Factories is a book written by Caroline Sheridan Norton that sheds light on the harsh realities of factory life in 19th-century England. The book is a collection of letters and personal accounts from women and children who worked in factories, describing their long hours, low wages, and unsafe working conditions. Norton, a prominent feminist and social reformer, uses these accounts to argue for better working conditions and legal protections for factory workers. She also addresses the societal attitudes towards women and the need for gender equality. The book was published in 1836 and is considered an important piece of literature in the history of labor rights and social reform.Have We Forgotten Our Own Infancy, That Joys So Simple Are To Them Denied?-- Our Boyhood's Hopes--our Wanderings Far And Free, Where Yellow Gorse-bush Left The Common Wide And Open To The Breeze?--the Active Pride Which Made Each Obstacle A Pleasure Seem.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
