The Factory Witches of Lowell is a sweetly magical tale of solidarity, owning the means of production, and the romance between a witch and a union girl. I loved it madly. --Annalee Newitz Women's work -- silent, invisible, necessary -- has always looked like magic from the outside. The Factory Witches of Lowell makes literal the unspoken societal fear of women with the capacity to organize and the willingness to sacrifice for each other and for a better world. --Madeline Ashby Malerich weaves a rich story, as meaningful as it is fantastic, that will have you cheering the underdog in this unique take on workers, bosses, and class struggle. --P. Djeli Clark New England witches fight for their rights with pragmatism and passion, using their wits and their art to battle forces of capitalist exploitation.
