About this listen

C.S. Malerich's The Factory Witches of Lowell is a riveting historical fantasy about witches going on strike in the historical mill-town of Lowell, Massachusetts.

Faced with abominable working conditions, unsympathetic owners, and hard-hearted managers, the mill girls of Lowell have had enough. They're going on strike, and they have a secret weapon on their side: a little witchcraft to ensure that no one leaves the picket line.

For the young women of Lowell, Massachusetts, freedom means fair wages for fair work, decent room and board, and a chance to escape the cotton mills before lint stops up their lungs. When the Boston owners decide to raise the workers' rent, the girls go on strike. Their ringleader is Judith Whittier, a newcomer to Lowell but not to class warfare. Judith has already seen one strike fold, and she doesn't intend to see it again. Fortunately Hannah, her best friend in the boardinghouse - and maybe first love? - has a gift for the dying art of witchcraft.

A unique spin on magic and freedom

There are many things to like about this book. The tight bonds of sisterhood in the face of adversity. The way it uses magic and imagination to address issues of equality and exploitation. The absorbing atmosphere of the prose. However, it is also that prose that created a distance between me and the characters, making me feel like an onlooker rather than one of the mill girls. I liked this book, don't get me wrong. I just feel like I could have liked it more.
