Matchwomen Pin Brooch

A stunning bronzetone brooch featuring the Matchwomen who went on strike in the summer of 1888 to demand better pay and conditions. The quote is from Annie Besant, a prominent British socialist, with reference to the strike. The brooch is finished with green crystals and white glass seed pearl. The pin is approx 5cms across.

The beautiful image of some of the original Matchwomen and the quote are both set under glass domes, finished off with a feather charm and crystal beads/glass pearls.

Everything is handmade to order therefore please allow up to 7 business days for completion of your very own piece.

The story of these brave young women is told in the acclaimed book by Louise Raw "Striking a Light" (available here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Striking-Light-Bryant-Matchwomen-History/dp/1441114262).

We also do custom pieces to order, so if you are wanting something else, made with a different theme in mind just get in touch and we can make a piece up to your specifications :-) email: [email protected]
