The Mill Town Lasses series is set in the cotton mill towns of Lancashire, northern England, where the author Libby Ashworth was born and raised. The series preceded her Lancashire Girls trilogy and covers similar ground: the lives of working-class women in the industrial north of England, their struggles with poverty and harsh labor, and the strength they find in family and community.

The Cotton Spinner (2020) opens the series, followed by A Lancashire Lass (2020) and A Family Secret (2021). Ashworth, who also writes under the name Elizabeth Ashworth, is passionate about Lancashire’s industrial history and uses real historical settings and events as the backdrop for her stories. Readers who enjoy the Lancashire Girls trilogy will find the same attention to regional detail and focus on women’s experiences here.
