About "The Lowell Offering": In 1840 in Lowell, MA, a group of factory workers began publishing the world’s first magazine written solely by women; it was called The Lowell Offering. This is the story of the magazine’s editor, Harriet Farley, and a labor activist, Sarah Bagley and the rise and fall of their friendship, the magazine, and Lowell’s “Mill Girl” culture.
Free parking is available at the Lowell National Historical Park Visitor Center parking lot (304 Dutton Street).
