Women's liberation movement and the politics of class in Britain

Women's liberation movement and the politics of class in Britain
This study explores the meaning of class to women's liberationists' identities and activism, both nationally and regionally, using a previously neglected feminist cluster in North East England as a case study. Stevenson demonstrates that British feminism was shaped fundamentally by its relationship to class politics. Feminists recognised how post-war changes in the economy and gender roles were reshaping class and the Women's Liberation Movement attempted to remake class politics in response. However, class differences between the women involved, linked to occupation, education and background, remained intractable obstacles causing tensions within groups, fragmentations into specific class-based groups and the ultimate failure of the movement to coalesce into a coherent coalition with labour politics, despite great levels of solidarity around particular struggles.- Creator

Thatcher's secret war
This book looks at the secret campaign that Mrs. Thatcher and her government waged before and after the Falklands War against “subversives”: anti-nuclear, new age, and ecology campaigners: poll tax protesters: trade unionists: Greenham Common women: Scottish nationalists: Ken Livingstone and the GLC: Derek Hatton and the city councilors of Liverpool: the far right: the Europe Union: and the Irish Republican Army. The central argument of the book is that there was not only a secret, internal “cold war” fought throughout the 1980s , but that the consequences of those years have huge implications for the importance and role of the state as it evolved into the twenty-first century outside parliamentary control.- Creator

Making the woman worker
This publication analyses three ways in which the League of Nations, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has classified the division of labor: between women and men from 1919 to 1958: between women in the global south and the west from 1955 to 1996: and between the earning and care needs of all workers from 1990s to today.- Creator

Women in the room
Throughout Labour's history, even in its earliest years, women were present in the room. They came from many backgrounds and they worked for the causes they believed in as organisers, campaigners, negotiators, public speakers and leaders. Amongst them was Isabella Ford, an active socialist and trade unionist and Millicent Fawcett, the President of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. They took on the vested interests of their time: sometimes they won. Yet the vast majority of them have been forgotten by the Labour movement that they helped to found. This book tells their story.- Creator

Gender, class and power
With a particular focus on the British printing industry, this book tackles the ongoing issue of pay inequality and examines the challenges facing many women today. By analysing organisation processes within the workplace, the author considers the unequal allocation of power resources that generate and sustain women’s invisibility and argues that women’s power is often outflanked by that of their male colleagues.- Creator

Ethnicity and gender at work
By directly addressing the working lives of black women, this book demonstrates the way that the intersection of gendered and ethnic identities operate in the contexts of work and home situations. It puts the British picture of gender and ethnicity in an international context by drawing in experiences, data and policy insights from the United States and mainland Europe.- Creator

Sex work now
Sex work has risen up the social and political agenda and has been the subject of considerable media attention, research, policy formulation and implementation, in particular in the Sex Offences Act 2003. This book aims to provide an overview of sex work today, approaching the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective and cutting across the conventional boundaries of sociology, criminology, politics and social policy.- Creator

Dreamers of a new day
From the 1880s to the 1920s, a profound social awakening among women extended the possibilities of change far beyond the struggle for the vote. Amid the growth of globalized trade, mass production, immigration and urban slums, American and British women broke with custom and prejudice. Taking off corsets, forming free unions, living communally, buying ethically, joining trade unions, doing social work in settlements, these 'dreamers of a new day' challenged ideas about sexuality, mothering, housework, the economy and citizenship.- Creator
