Beth De Wolfe, Camille Smalley interviewed for Courier story

Professor Elizabeth De Wolfe, Ph.D., was interviewed in a Nov. 5, 2009 Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier story about a Saco Museum exhibition on the lives of factory girls that was created by UNE alumnus Camille Smalley '08, program and education manager at Saco Museum. “The biggest challenge of these mill girls was their newfound independence,” DeWolfe said. Smalley designed the exhibit to evoke the interior of a factory girl boardinghouse bedroom from the 1840s. De Wolfe's most recent book is The Murder of Mary Bean and Other Stories, a study of a Saco factory girl.
