This July marks the 136th anniversary of the matchwomens strike at Bryant & May match factory in London's East End in 1888.
Exposing the truth of the ‘poor waif matchgirl’ historian Louise Raw fills us in on the true story of the vibrant working class women who downed tools, went on strike and changed the course of history.
Her work on the Bryant and May Matchwomen altered the way the modern trade union movement was understood. "It was actually begun by young women and girls, regarded by their supposed betters as the 'lowest of the low'," Louise explains in this episode, "but who changed the world for working women, using sisterhood and long hatpins!"
