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.Gender in history.Manchester scholarship online.Women in the labor movementGreat BritainHistory20th centuryWorking class womenPolitical activityGreat BritainHistory20th centuryStrikes and lockoutsGreat BritainHistory20th centuryHistorymupSocial & Cultural HistorybicsscHISTORY / WomenbisachGender equality.feminism.oral history.protest.trade unions.women.work.Women in the labor movementHistoryWorking class womenPolitical activityHistoryStrikes and lockoutsHistoryHistorySocial & Cultural HistoryHISTORY / Women305.48230941Moss Jonathan1471203UkMaJRUBOOK9910793437603321Women, workplace protest and political identity in England, 1968-853683419UNINA
