What do we really know about the Allumettières?


Historian Kathleen Durocher presents a talk on these heroines of the shadows, young workers at the E-B. Eddy factory, underpaid and crippled by the white phosphorus used to make matches.


Afterwards, author-in-residence Mattia Scarpulla leads a writing workshop aimed at bringing memories to life and working with history, archives and traces as literary material.
