FOR those engaged in the class struggle today for women’s emancipation, equal pay and the ending of discrimination in the workplace, for abortion rights and lives free of violence, accounts of brave women who joined the fight before us must never be forgotten.
Their political stories resonate with our struggles now and with our own family histories.
Jessie Eden is one such inspirational figure. Graham Stevenson’s last publication in the Our History series before his recent untimely death charts Eden’s life and work, and the authenticity of this pamphlet is derived from his direct knowledge of the family in Birmingham in the 1970s.
