Simon WhistlerNARRATOR
Girls were encouraged to buy books and hold reading groups, like a modern-day book club.
Simon WhistlerNARRATOR
were also offered the opportunity to attend lectures by prominent figures such as ralph waldo emerson or john quincy adams cynically it could be viewed that the emphasis on purchasing books was to ensure that the girls wouldn't have any money so that they'd be forced to stay at the factory and keep working longer however the girls had what was called a circulating library where all the books were shared among everyone in the boarding house they would also write their own stories and poetry though these writing supplies also ate into their savings Of course, all of this education was only to take place after already working a 14-hour shift.
Simon WhistlerNARRATOR
The structure was not conductive to education, with the girls often writing that they'd fall asleep in lectures despite an intense desire to learn or simply not have the energy to engage in deep thought.
Simon WhistlerNARRATOR
Still, many persevered through this.

That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives and our character.
Marlin LavanharHOST
Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, what we imagine, and what dominates our thoughts.
Darnyelle Jervey HarmonHOST
But that is not the whole principle.
Darnyelle Jervey HarmonHOST
Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous essay on compensation deals more broadly with reciprocity, exchange, benefit, cost, action and consequence.
Darnyelle Jervey HarmonHOST
One of the ideas that are running through his essay is that benefits have costs associated and attached to them.

Doug HenwoodGUEST
One of the things I picked up reading Rodrigo Nunes' book was how deeply The notions of self-reliance, which seems like something out of Ralph Waldo Emerson, how deeply they've been ingrained to the Brazilian working class.
Doug HenwoodGUEST
People think it's just all on me, whether I succeed or fail.
Doug HenwoodGUEST
And that, that, that kind of sensibility is going to be hard to change.
