Voices from the factory floor : the experiences of women who worked in the manufacturing industries in Wales, 1945-75

Stevens, Catrin2017

In Wales the post-Second World War period was one of gradual decline for the major, traditional, male-orientated, heavy industries of coal, steel and slate. While whole libraries have been devoted to chronicling the rise and fall of the heroic miner and quarryman in Welsh history, the story of working class Welsh women, who laboured in our factories in Wales during this same period, has been largely neglected and ignored. This book aims to put this right and through oral history to allow the women to tell their own stories.
