London Women in Textile Mill (Katie Allen)

My life is not a good one. My days are long, and my eyes are tired, and many other workers around me are being injured by the hour. I work in a textile mill with some breaks, but that doesn't make up for the long ours. I have a daughter, one whom I love with all my heart. I want the best for her, however, I'm scared of what the future holds for her because she will one day have to work in the mills as well. The Industrial Revolution right now is taking over. For me however, this isn't a good thing. Although it may be benefiting our country and helping production faster, these new inventions are endangering the lives of many, including myself and even younger children working in the mills around me. I have to admit I am partially happy that I have a job, but this job isn't safe even if I did need the money. My life like many others could be better if the Industrial Revolution benefited the actual people that do the work in the mills. I don't like the Revolution and it's influence on thousands of citizens throughout London.
