“All Work and Low Pay: The Story of Women and Work”
Most women have always worked, in paid jobs or in the home, but their work has consistently been unrecognised and undervalued. This exhibition shows the extraordinary range of jobs done by women over the past 150 years, from forging iron chains to assembling fine electrical components. It highlights the campaigns for equal pay and fair working conditions led by pioneering activists and supported by trade unions.
This exhibition presents London Metropolitan University’s Special Collections from The Women’s Library and TUC Library Collections, and will include unseen documents, images, films and artefacts.
