What reading level is Romance of a Great Factory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When you reach up to turn on an electric light, look more attentively at the efficient socket which brings you so close (and yet so safely) to the Twentieth century genii electricity.
It was a girl who made this socket, or rather 207 different workers, mostly girls, handled the various parts and conducted the 237 different operations necessary to make up one ordinary blackkeyed socket. And they make 5, 000, 000 annually!
In the early days when Edison was introducing electric light, just a littl...e over one generation ago, only the experts dared to handle electricity but now a babe in arms could start and stop a big machine, or flood an auditorium with light.
And if you are in doubt whether girls can operate machinery in a big factory, here is where you will find out your mistake. Not only do they operate wonderful machines that press, stamp, draw, punch, drill and thread brass and copper: but there are hundreds of operations which require the utmost skill and dex- terity, and where the supple fingers of a girl are really superior to those of a man, whose "fingers are all thumbs" for work of such minute character.
