Lucy Larcom was one of the most famous poets in America. Today, she is best remembered for her book, A New England Girlhood, which tells about her growing-up years as a mill(工厂) girl.
Lucy was born in 1824. As a young girl, she enjoyed exploring the woods near her house and playing with her brothers and sisters.
When Lucy was 7 years old, her father died suddenly, turning her life upside down forever. Lucy's mother struggled to find the money to feed and clothe her big family. Not many jobs were open to women then. One of the few places women could find paid work was in the water-powered cloth mills. So Mrs Larcom made a difficult decision. She uprooted her family from the quiet village and moved to the busy factory town of Lowell.
In Lowell, Lucy's older sisters quickly found jobs in the cotton mills. Lucy attended the local elementary school. When Lucy turned 11, her mother told her that it was time for her to follow her older sisters into the cotton mills. The family needs the money Lucy could earn.
At first, Lucy was excited about becoming a mill girl. Helping to support her family made her feel grown up. Besides, she disliked her school in Lowell because she was afraid of the schoolmaster, who whipped his students with a leather strap when they forgot their lessons. Yet working at the cotton mill was much harder than Lucy had ever imagined.
At the end of her first year in the cotton mill, Lucy got a great chance to go back to school for three months. Those days back at school were a huge success. Her kind and dedicated new teacher made learning a delight. Lucy moved ahead so quickly with her lessons that by the end of her short school term she was ready to progress to high school.
Lucy dreamt of leaving her mill girl days behind to attend high school. However, she knew that her family needed the money, so she returned to the hated mill, feeling
In the book, Lucy emphasized that she never regretted her years working as a mill girl. "I had early been saved from a great mistake It is the greatest of mistakes to begin life with the expectation that it is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so. What a world it would be, if there were no hills to climb!"
