Match Girls. Band 09 Gold/Band 17 Diamond, Paperback/Juliet Kerrigan

In Victorian times, many children had to work to earn money for their family. One factory employed young girls to make matches, but the chemical they used made them very ill and many died. One woman decided to stand up for these girls, and her protest took her all the way to the Houses of Parliament in London.
