Cathy Hunt talks about the tireless efforts of grassroots activists in this early 20th century all-female British trade union (led by the charismatic Mary Macarthur) to strengthen the position of women workers who were too often the victims of excessively low pay and poor working conditions.

Dr Cathy Hunt is Senior Lecturer in History at Coventry University.
