Female Textile Mill Worker (Josh Fradin)

I have been one angry mother since I was forced to leave the farm to work in the Mill factory. My family and I enjoyed our time on the farm, but ideas such as having one big piece of land to farm on is better than a bunch of separately owned farms on a big piece of land. It was easy on the farm because all the food we needed we just had to grow it. Now I have to things such as spinning and weaving on machines which gets very boring. The only thing that I happy about is how Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin which picks the seeds out of the cotton at a much faster pace than a human would. At work all I use are my hands and because of this they are starting to hurt. The only day off we have is on Sunday when me and the rest of the girls have fun. I believe this Industrial Revolution has negatively affected all the citizens here in London. Machines now have started to take jobs from citizens and they are ending up without a job. People like my family and I are unhappy about where we are working and how we had to move to the city because that is where the factory is. I can only think of one group of people who could be happy from the Industrial Revolution and those people are the ones who invented these machines. They are making a lot of money, while everyone else is working hard. We also have to live in tenements with other families which are filled with disease. I cannot see anyone liking the Industrial Revolution right now.
