Interesting to see how the qualities that go to make up a psychopath can be present in anyone. The author credits his solid upbringing in a loving, disciplined home for his not actually BECOMING what he could have been based on genetics and a number of other factors.

This amazing book is written by one of the "mill girls" from Lowell Massachusettes. I'd always thought - as many do - that these poor girls were pretty much slave labor. And in later days, there was definitely some of that going on. But in the earliest days of the industrial revolution? Wow! These girls had literery clubs, lectures, etc. and earned money to send a brother to college or pay off the home mortgage. WOW!
