520 1  "The Belles of New England is the story of one group of 
       pioneers in the American labor movement - the thousands of
       women who left New England farm towns to work in the 
       textile cities that sprang up in the region in the early 
       nineteenth century. Their goal was to achieve personal 
       independence, their mission social justice. At a time when
       women had no political influence, they battled powerful 
       mill owners for fair pay and decent working conditions."--
