Manage episode 402255248 series 3443081
Dear Diary,
On to the second half of our discussion of So Far From Home: The Diary of Mary Driscoll, an Irish Mill Girl! This time, we finally make it to Lowell and the mills!
Mary catches on quickly to her work in the mills. Thanks, in part, to her new friend, Annie. And aren't they just great gal pals? But life in the mills is hard work. Accidents happen, the hours are long, and the cotton fibers get everywhere. Will Mary join in with the Yankee girls to fight for better working conditions? Or does her responsibility to save money for her family get in the way? Tune in to find out!
Yours Truly,
Cate and Jen
