We are thrilled to bring this very special event, with guest speaker Sam Johnson, who will explore Southampton's radical history and the rich connections to The Matchgirls Strike story. Sam is the Chair of the Board of Trustees for The Matchgirls Memorial and also the Great Granddaughter of Sarah Chapman. Having discovered Sarah’s role in the Strike towards the end of 2016, Sam has thrown herself into commemorating the achievements of the Matchgirls in 1888. This special on-line event is free and everybody is welcome. Discover Southampton's rich connections to The Matchgirls Strike - a story of working class solidarity and women's empowerment.
