In 1789 Hannah Lightbody, a well-educated and intelligent young woman of means, married Samuel Greg and found herself at the centre of his cotton empire in the industrial heart of England. Over the next four decades she fought to improve the education, health and welfare of cotton girls and pauper apprentices at the mill.
