GLOWING VOMIT SAY WHAT? In this episode we cover the 1888 Matchwomen Strike that took place in the East End of London when women and girls walked out of a matchstick factory called Bryant and May after a retaliatory firing of one of their colleagues who was a whistleblower in a damning article. This action won a huge victory for their working conditions, pushed for legislative changes, and impacted the wider labor movement for years to come in the UK!
