The mill girls : moving true stories of love and loss from inside Lancashire's cotton mills
Johnson, Tracy2014
Books, Manuscripts
With tales from hard working Audrey and mischievous Maureen to high-spirited Doris and dedicated Marjorie, 'The Mill Girls' is an evocative story of hardship and friendship when cotton was still king. Through the eyes of four northern mill girls, we are offered a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary women who rallied together, nattered over the beamers and, despite the hard working conditions, weaved, packed and laughed to keep the cotton mills spinning.
