The textile mills recruit and use labor by getting women who initially were recruited between ages 15 and 30. Women came to the mills for different reasons. On of the reasons it to help a brother pay for college, for their educational opportunities in Lowell. After how many years, many women joined the broader American labor movement, to protest the dramatic social changes.
