Authors Note: If any of you guys do not know me I'm in love with history. It interests me on learning about what other people had to go through. So I am doing a little response to a chapter from my Social Studies book.

Often, when families didn't have enough money they usually had to send they're daughters to the industrial mills. There they didn't get much education and sometimes they would often work up to 12 to 14 hours! Often younger girls would start at the easiest job and that would be changing the bobbins. With working that hard they often only get $1 per week! After they graduated from the bobbins they were either sent home or they move on to the spinners. It often depended on how poor the family was.

I thought that was nice post. I can't believe what girls had to do at such a young age. Us girls should be thankful that we don't have to do that.

I can tell that you did some research for this, and I like how yo added an author's note. Remember, author's notes are supposed to be italicized. Good job!
