.... that the silk workers in Chinese factories were mostly women who seemed to revel in the freedom from the farm. They had sisterly relations (good and bad) with their fellow workers and took pride in their usefulness and status. Factories had a liberating effect on women as long as they supported one another. It was a way to avoid marriage, servanthood, and poverty--a solution that was not open to JA.
