These are on the Grilled Cheese poster (requires Nightlife), but they're designed more to go with ladyheather's slaved resizes, which are not included because: A. They're Optional and B. This was originally posted in the same thread at GoS. (These were made for the June 2012 theme, Age of Austerity.)

The .rar contains pictures of each woman, both in poster form and in the pictures I used to make the posters.

Historical Context:
As seen on Tony Robinson's Worst Jobs in History (Season 2, The Urban Age...go about a minute into this clip for his explanation.)

In the early Industrial Age (Georgian and early Victorian), people living in cities stopped working according to the sun and began working shifts in factories. This called for new forms of entertainment and, thus, new forms of employment. One such form of entertainment was watching fights. This ranged from dogs fighting rats, to cockfights, to boxing. This mostly happened on the outskirts of the cities, and one popular group to watch fight was women, who often fought dirtier than the men. They fought in many ways, ranging from bare-knuckle fistfights to fighting with battle axes, and they aimed to cause wounds, not to kill, though there were occasional deaths. Most of the women who did this work were very poor women who worked as market vendors or factory workers during the day and fought for extra money. Fighters were paid in the form of tips thrown into the ring. There were also grudge fights between women that were used to settle scores.
