Struggles, Strikes, Solidarity 5 Mar: Join @cathyhunt.bsky.social for a fascinating talk that examines the challenges faced by women workers and the extraordinary efforts to organise them into an all-women trade union, led by the charismatic Mary Macarthur @womenshistnet.bsky.social
I’m delighted to have been invited to deliver this talk - and so close to International Women’s Day too. There’s so much to discover about women’s lives by finding out more about their work, their pay and their determination to be treated fairly and with respect
So happy to see a blue plaque in Coventry for Alice Arnold, one of the city’s first 2 women Labour councillors after WW1. She was a remarkable woman- see blog here cathyhunthistorian.com
