Set in the gutting sheds of the slaughterhouse at the Cattle Market in late Victorian Deptford, England, this incisive drama shows working women at the bottom of the heap. When crusading do-gooders succeed in doing something about their dreadful working conditions by making their work illegal, the gut girls suddenly find themselves with new options for changing their lives, one of which is a market girl’s club founded by the Duchess of Albany.
