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.
To work in the textile mills, Lowell hired young, unmarried women from New England farms. The mill girls were chaperoned by matrons and were held to a strict curfew and moral code. Although the work was tedious (12 hours per day, 6 days per week), many women enjoyed a sense of independence they had not known on the farm.
