Here's what we can figure out:
* Lowell Girls: This refers to the young women who worked in the textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts during the Industrial Revolution (19th century). They were often from rural areas and were attracted to the opportunity for paid work and social life in the mill towns.
* Drudge: This word means a person who does dull, hard, or unpleasant work.
Considering these meanings, it's likely the phrase refers to the hard and often repetitive work that the Lowell girls faced in the mills. Their work could be physically demanding and often involved long hours in noisy, dusty environments.
However, it's important to note that:
* The phrase is not a commonly used term in historical accounts of the Lowell mills.
* There's no historical evidence to suggest that "Drudge of the Lowell Girls" was a specific term used to describe these women.
