Millie Bobby Brown takes Enola Holmes 2 fans back to the time when a small factory strike transformed fates of workers.

Millie Bobby Brown Narrates the Real Story of Matchstick Girls That She Lived With in &#8216;Enola Holmes 2&#8217;

We recently saw Millie Bobby Brown embodying a reckless teenage sister in the
second adaptation of Nancy Springer’s novels. As viewers, we got to experience
the Victorian world through the perspective of the characters. It mainly
involves Enola Holmes, who ventured to London to find her headstrong mom in the
2020 movie. However, this time, she returned as an ambitious detective who
investigated the disappearance of Sarah Chapman.

To many, the movie was a great amalgamation of history and fiction presented
remarkably by characters. While others searched through the internet about this
feminist event that took place back in the 1800s, to give fans a clear
understanding of the film Stranger Things star recently brought up the real
story of the Matchstick girls that she lived with in Enola Holmes 2. 


MILLIE BOBBY BROWN REVEALS THE TRUE STORY OF MATCHSTICK FACTORY WORKERS 

In a recent video dropped by Still Watching Netflix on social media, Millie
Bobby Brown welcomes fans to get a deeper knowledge of the Matchgirls’ Strike.
The video described this Strike as “one of the most important events in the
history of labor organization.”

The real story started in the impoverished and unhygienic industrial area of
London, where many women used to work in Bryant and May. In this matchstick
making company, women and girls used to take grueling 14-hour shifts to earn
five shillings a week. Even these pitiful wages were reduced further by ‘fines’
if anyone used the washroom or came untidy. The working conditions were poor
while workers had to operate dangerous machinery.

Moreover, it was revealed in the video that many women lost their fingers
working with the matchstick separating cutter. The depiction of phosphorus is
also true as women actually died of bone cancer caused by the chemical. Also,
the living conditions were severe, similar to what viewers saw in the movie, as
these women were given zero importance.



However, all these acts of atrocity did came to an end after a girl was fired
from the factory. Eventually, about 1,400 working women gathered strength to
voice against this inhumanity. They stopped working for the company who was
using them as petty objects for selfish benefits. Therefore, the strike against
harsh treatment started as the workers marched towards Parliament. This caught
the attention of nation and many famous writers like Charles Dickens wrote about
the evils of matchmaking.

With the support of Annie Besant, a social and political activist the Matchstick
girls formed trade unions. In the end, their demand of better working
conditions, better wages and abolition of fines was accepted. Not just that,
this single spark of protest gave many other workers in the country to speak up
for their rights.
