Born in Beverly Massachusetts, on May 5, 1824, Lucy Larcom’s fate was destined to be a mill worker. Although she was primarily known for her work as a poet, it wasn’t till she started working at the Textile Mills in Lowell Mass, that she found her true strength in poetry.

There are three influential factors and potential problems of Lucy, and one is fussy eating. Despite a low risk, this may inhibit Lucy’s physical development. For preschool children, fussy eating is quite common behaviour, and up to 50% of them are fussy or picky eaters (Tharner et al. 1025, p. 91).

At the turn of the century, women’s roles in the United States were very different than today. Back then in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, women had one role, which was getting married and having children.
