- Information
Description
This book draws upon original research into women’s workplace protest to deliver a new account of working-class women’s political identity and participation in post-war England.
Focusing on the voices and experiences of women who fought for equal pay, skill recognition and the right to work between 1968 and 1985, it explores why working-class women engaged in such action when they did, and it analyses the impact of workplace protest on women’s political identity.
A combination of oral history and written sources are used to illuminate how everyday experiences of gender and class antagonism shaped working-class women’s political identity and participation.
The book contributes a fresh understanding of the relationship between feminism, workplace activism and trade unionism during the years 1968-1985. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5, Gender equality. -- .
