What was the female experience of the textile worker in the early 19th century?

Compared to working conditions that we have today, the experience of being a female working in the textile mills of the 1800's had to have been a harrowing experience. The sole goal of the owners and managers was productivity. To meet that goal, almost no effort or money was spent on worker safety. Even if the machines themselves could have been made safer, there was no focus on other kinds of hazards like noise and protecting the workers from hearing damage or even lung damage from breathing in the various airborne fibers. The owners didn't need to focus on worker safety either. They could work the girls ridiculously hard and over long hours because if a girl got hurt, quit, or couldn't keep up, dozens of other girls were ready to jump in and take the newly opened position. On the other hand, the women didn't know any different. To them, the ability to work and earn a paycheck was a new concept. It gave them a sense of worth and freedom that they didn't have prior to this time. So while working conditions may have been bad, women were still flocking to the mills for the opportunities that they granted.
