Contextualising women's workplace activism in post-war England -- The Ford sewing machinists' strike, 1968, Dagenham -- The Trico-Folberth equal pay strike, Brentford, 1976 -- Sexton's shoe factory occupation and Fakenham Enterprises, Norfolk, 1972-77 -- The Ford sewing machinists' strike, Dagenham, 1984-85 -- Conclusion -- Appendix: Timeline of women's workplace militancy in Britain, 1968-85 -- Bibliography -- Index.

Summary: 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.
