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. -- .
