The miners’ strike of 1984-5 was able to continue for as long as it did because of the development of a network of support groups run by women in mining communities. They fundraised, fed miners and their families, distributed food vouchers, organised Christmas presents for children, went on picket lines and spoke in support of the strike. During the strike, some from the Women’s Liberation Movement suggested that this activism amounted to the development of a new, working-class form of feminism. This lecture examines the politics of the women involved, and their interactions with feminist supporters.
