When the Bryant and May Matchwomen went on strike in 1888, it caused outrage. A 'respectable' woman's place was in the home, not the #picketline! Bad enough these 'rough' girls were working outside the domestic sphere, without also rebelling against their 'gentlemen' employers.
Their walk out stirred fears of #revolution -- the mob at the gates in the form of 1400 women and girls in threatening #hats (too bright, too many feathers!), parading the streets of Bow singing #rude songs about their #bosses.
Behind the opprobrium directed at them, and 'factory lasses' in general, lay a disturbed and disturbing conceptualisation and fear of female sexuality. This would lead to a horrific 'trade' in virginity, bizarre anti-sex aids and eventually -- unintentionally -- to the birth of the Hollywood #vamp.
