- This monograph draws upon a funded PhD into female workers’ activism. Focusing on detailed case studies, the book explores why working-class women engaged in industrial disputes and analyses the impact of this action on women's political identity. This original research involved new oral history interviews with female trade union activists, re-analysis of contemporary interviews with female workers from the 1970s, and the analysis of archival evidence including trade union records and feminist publications from the time. These sources are used to deliver a fresh understanding of the relationship between feminism, workplace activism and trade unionism during the years 1968-1985.
