to Document 8, Sakura Takuji, relives her life as a “mill girl”, during that time she recalls the workers were plagued with illnesses and horrible work conditions, not only that but they were also sexually assaulted by their male supervisors, who also had the keys to their dorm rooms, thus sexual abuse and rape ran rampant in the factories. Takuji has a extremely negative view of being a female factory worker in Japan because she was once a “mill girl” and personally witness the unjust the…
an estimate of 8,000 textile workers. In this place the name of the “mill girls” became the most common when referring to the factory. Many girls viewed this employment as a perception of freedom. During that era, it was rare for a woman to make her own money, and have educational opportunities, but the Lowell mills changed that for them. During the Lowell Mill times, everyone had their own different perspectives about the mills. Even though they were given privileges, there was a negative side…
developments to improve the efficiency, crop yield, and commercialization to sustain the increasing population. Inventions such as the McCormick reaper, liberating workers from the grueling task of harvesting grain, and the cotton gin, replacing hundreds of man-hours by increasing cotton productivity, have all helped America become what it is today. However, in recent years, a new invention has been developed, genetically modified seeds. These seeds, developed by the company Monsanto, are…
material with a crisp hand. It has an outstanding drape and is often used by tailors to create dresses and skirts with volume. Organza is also a very strong fabric, so do not be tricked by its sheer look. Organza is traditionally made from silk. Its cotton variety is called organdy, and it has similar properties to organza. Nowadays, you can find all kinds of organza fabric, both natural and synthetic. An everybody’s favourite for evening and wedding gowns, this stiff material has a subtle…
In 1793, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in the United States. This machine sped up the manual process of separating cotton fibers from their seeds, allowing more output to be produced in less time. The process of refining the cotton became less labor-intensive, as less labor is needed to produce the same amount of output. The invention made cotton a very profitable crop across the South. However, labor was still needed to harvest the crop. Despite the terrible consequences of increased…
In 1870, the first sock was knitted by a machine invented by a Swedish immigrant. The inventor’s name is John Nelson. With his innovation, he opened a factory to produce mittens and he eventually decided to make socks with his machine. The factory he founded is located in Rockford, Illinois. His sock factory, with automatic knitting machines, eventually led to the creation of the distinguished red heeled sock monkey. Sock Monkeys can be found in numerous households and became a popular craft in…
few individuals have also re-created sock monkeys to create another “sock image.” Sock imitations can be in the form of almost any animal, including but not limited to dogs, cats, frogs, and reindeer. One book published three years after the Nelson Mill Company received their patent, a book was published titled How to Make Sock Toys which included fifty patterns to sew different sock imitations (Connelly). One reason why sock monkeys are popular, is the consequence of the assertions that have…
Multiple innovations increased the production of cotton dramatically, but Eli Whitney’s cotton gin was the most influential. The South’s cotton production increased by 800%, which caused an increase in needed labor due to the harvesting being so labor-intensive. Slaves spent their lives doing hard work for little or no wage, and were merely motivated to keep working by their own fear of being beaten or killed. Some slaves sought the dangerous task of resilience, but others believed they could…
Fibers are everywhere in everyone. Fibers are threadlike elements from fabric or other materials such as carpet. They are mostly identifiable under a microscope, Fabrics are helpful in forensics in many ways. Fabrics are made fiber strands that are much longer than they are wide and generally round on cross section. These fibers may be from natural or synthetic sources.The main reason why fabrics are helpful is because fibers are in clothing,upholstery, carpet, rope, and building components.…
