The Factory Witches of Lowell by C.S. Malerich
3.0
“Flog them, hang them, drown them like rats. It won’t change the facts: we are the ones who poured our sweat and souls into your looms. We have rights to expect a little loyalty.”
In Lowell, Mass, witches are on strike. Factory girls upset with their wages--watching their friends suffer disease and malnutrition, unable to send much home to their families--decide to take matters into their own hands. They're the ones who do the work, so they can get the looms to do their bidding. Right? But a strike, just like the spell they cast, can only work if everyone is on board. If even one person decides to renege, what they have worked for will be lost.
A short, sweet novella that's lovely for the autumn.
