LI: to identify the significance of the Match Girls Strike of 1888.
Today we had a session with David, our PB4L leader. He was teaching us about the match girls strike of 1888. This Strike of 1888 explains the hardships that the match girls went through, this eventually led to a protest trying to raise awareness for women who don’t get appreciate their hard work by not getting paid.
I found this task interesting because I never knew that this ever took place. An interesting fact I found during this activity was how no one really knew much about the prejudice the workers were facing.
