New England Offering
The ''New England Offering'' was a collection of journal entries that was written by female mill workers in New England mills.〔Ranta, Judith. "New England Offering." New England Offering. January 1, 1850. Accessed November 10, 2014. http://library.uml.edu/clh/NewOff.html.〕 Many of the women who were contributing to the magazine were working in mills in Lowell, Massachusetts. The “Lowell Offering” was a collection of narratives where women shared their works in a intellectual and cultural publication. The contributors took great pride in the magazine. The “Lowell Offering” gained a great deal amount of popularity. It was read by famous writers such as Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and George Sand.〔Eisenmann, Linda. "L." In Historical Dictionary of Women's Education in the United States, 232-255. Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1998.〕 The “Lowell Offering” lost momentum after the opinions of the writers moved towards areas that mill owners did not agree with. The “New England Offering” was established after controversy with the Lowell Offering erupted and the editors Harriet Farley and Harriott F. Curtis had to discontinue the “Lowell Offering” and start a new magazine. The magazine started in December 1847 but only lasted for two issues, because it did not have the success that the “Lowell Offering” had 〔Eisenmann, Linda. "L."

==Purpose==
The purpose of the magazine was to shed light on what women who were working in mills were like. It was very common for people to believe that women working in the mills were uneducated and simply there to work. However many women who were working the mills wanted to purpose intellectual and cultural activities. The women who were contributing to the magazine wanted to alter the views that European social reformers and union supporters had on factory girls.〔Ranta, Judith. "New England Offering." New England Offering. January 1, 1850. Accessed November 10, 2014. http://library.uml.edu/clh/NewOff.html.〕 The magazine was also written to emphasize that self-improvement was vital when becoming a lady. The magazine aimed to continue a women’s education, even though they were working. The “New England Offering” was a way for mill workers who were traditionally lower-class citizens to become published. It encouraged education amongst the workers who contributed to the magazine and let women express their creative side.〔Dublin, Thomas.
