Working Class Women's Liberation
and the Rank-and-File Rebellion in Steel
Socialism 2014
June 26, 2014
With Candace Cohn
This is an inspiring case study of the relation of working class women’s liberation to the rank and file revolt of the 1970s. The talk recounts how women steelworkers won demands against heavy odds, and went on to build a rank and file caucus which then joined the national Steel Workers Fightback campaign. The history contains lessons for today on socialist functioning in broader rank and file work and electoral reform campaigns.
