#WINspiration – Can your library add to ‘Women and Workplace Struggles in Scotland’?
‘This work helps shine a light on the often hidden struggles women have faced in the workplace, in the past and right up to the present day. These are voices that should be heard…’ Susan Stewart, Director of Open University Scotland.
Women and Workplace Struggles in Scotland: Scotland 1900-2022 is a living resource collection that offers a timely and necessary exploration of women’s (often hidden) role in struggles in the workplace across Scotland. Each article in the collection casts either a new light on – or refreshing memories of – struggles of the past, as well as those that are ongoing.
The research team are particularly keen to hear from women workers who have been involved in (historic or contemporary) struggles around issues such as pay and fairness at work, defending jobs as well as campaigns to defend or improve workplace conditions, and material like images, photographs, dispute paraphernalia (leaflets, flyers, posters etc.) is also especially welcome.
If you or your library community can help, please contact ouscotland-women-struggles@open.ac.uk.
