NOVEMBER 24, 1862:
The Ohio State Journal reports that 100 women
working in a factory at West Gay and High Streets in Columbus, Ohio are
producing 100,000 cartridges a day for the Union war effort. Except for the
manager and his assistant, all of the employees are female. A day’s work for
each person is established at 900 rounds, but it is often exceeded.
