The Lowell Offering was a monthly periodical collected contributed works of poetry and fiction by the female textile workers (young women [age 15-35] known as the Lowell Mill Girls) of the Lowell, Massachusetts textile mills of the early American industrial revolution. It began in 1840 and lasted until 1845. It was first organized and edited by the minister of the First Universalist Church, Reverend Abel Charles Thomas.
