It’s the early 1800s and things have been moving rapidly! A bunch of new inventions, like the spinning machine, the cotton gin, and the steam engine have revolutionized how things get done in England and other parts of the world. The textile industry has been growing by leaps and bounds because of new inventions that make cleaning raw materials, spinning thread, and weaving cloth so much faster. Not everything is wonderful though. Meet Hannah, a young girl forced to work under horrible factory conditions so she can help her family put food on the table and pay the bills. Hannah has been forced to work long hours, in hot, dusty factories and isn’t allowed to sit or take a break except for lunchtime. Since Hannah is young and small, they often ask her to perform dangerous tasks like changing the bobbins, replacing broken threads or cleaning out the machinery. She is grateful for the job and has been working hard, but feels like something needs to be done to help the factory workers earn better wages and get a healthier, safer working environment (she has seen several friends injured since she began work). Can you help Hannah find her voice to enact change and alter the lives of factory workers throughout the United Kingdom?
