Collection: British Women Trade Unionists on Strike at Bryant & May, 1888 Volumes Later years
The documents in this section serve two purposes: one is to chart the evolution of Bryant & May during the twentieth century in light of changing circumstances i.e. The Great War, and the other is to analyse the impact of the strike almost a century later. This latter point is no better illustrated than through attempts to reconstruct the strike through the arts. Stirke a Light (1965), a musical by Joyce Adcock and the screenplay of the intended Matchgirls (1973) by Bill Owen are cases in point. Amongst all this was still a defiance and determination by the company to play down the strike's significance eighty years after it happened.
