Talk:Ellen Hooton

Bias and other issues in this article

- Life and Work section should be first. This is about Ellen and the location of her life/work appears as an afterthought. - Wording in this article leans toward justification for her abuse. For example: "it is best done by small young fingers rather than large old arthritic ones.". That was their only choices, small young fingers or old arthritic ones? The reality is the cotton industry did then and still does use free and cheap labor. In old England and many other places, the governments threw the most vulnerable at the industry: orphans and those in federally manufactured desperate poverty, because of the abusive work terms and lack of living wage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.86.76 (talk) 19:55, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
