With a trade unionist ex-husband who was elected to Federal Politics opposing her left wing campaigns, Kath emerged as a feisty and quietly determined woman. Her campaign of conviction was the major force behind the country's achievement of equal pay for women. 606 $aWomen labor union members$zAustralia$vBiography 606 $aWomen labor union members$zAustralia$xHistory 606 $aEqual pay for equal work$zAustralia$xHistory 606 $aLabor unions$zAustralia$xHistory 615 0$aWomen labor union members 615 0$aWomen labor union members$xHistory. 615 0$aEqual pay for equal work$xHistory. 615 0$aLabor unions$xHistory. 676 $a305.4092 676 $a331.478092 676 $a331.478092 700 $aD'Aprano$b Zelda$f1928-$01688167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821752703321 996 $aKath Williams$94062177 997 $aUNINA
