Comments: The narrator worked in the Wood Mill , as did her mother. The narrator began as a doffer in English drawing; at that point she was a fun-loving young lady who enjoyed being with the other girls in the mill. When she turned 18, she got her own machine and more money. After the mills closed, she, like many other mill workers, went to Western Electric.
