By [[Sarah Daniels]]<br>

Directed by [[Maria Bates]]
  
3 historical scenes based on the "Gut Girls" of Deptford, England, circa 1900. They are rowdy, boisterous, have mouths like sailors and are as strong as the oxen they gut. By day they are up to their knees in freshly slaughtered animal entrails, but in the evenings they are their own women, financially independent to a degree rare for young working-class women in Victorian England.
