The article explores the book "Labour Revolt in Britain 1910-14" by Ralph Darlington, which delves into the involvement of women in the labor revolt of that era. It argues that women were active participants in strikes and often the driving force behind them. However, it also acknowledges the gendered nature of the labor market, which influenced women's experiences and opportunities for collective action. The article uses a strike in Bridport in 1912 as an example, highlighting the complexities of women's involvement and the challenges faced by women workers. It emphasizes the importance of solidarity and community support in sustaining strikes and suggests a more integrated approach to studying the women's and labor movements, considering the intersection of gender and class.
