The Lowell Female Labor Reform Association (LFLRA) was one of the first American labor organizations organized by and for women. The Lowell Female Labor Reform Association was founded in 1844 by the  mill girls  of Lowell, Massachusetts. Sarah Bagley was the first president of the LFLRA.
The Lowell System Not all mill owners followed this system. Francis Cabot Lowell, a businessman from New England, developed a very different approach. His ideas completely changed the textile industry in the Northeast. The Lowell system was based on water- powered textile mills that employed young, unmarried women from local farms. The sysâ¬ tem included a loom that could both spin thread and weave cloth in the same mill. Lowell constructed boardinghouses for the women. Boardinghouse residents were given a room and meals along with their jobs.
