London Book Launch: Women United by Peggy Nash and Julie White
Join us at the London launch of Women United: Stories of Women’s Struggles for Equality in the Canadian Auto Workers Union by Peggy Nash and Julie White.
To celebrate this important writing on the struggles and histories of women in unions, the launch will include:
- An opening by President of Unifor Local 6005, Shinade Allder
- A short reading by the authors, Peggy Nash and Julie White
- A conversation with the authors as well as Barb MacQuarrie and Tricia Wilson
- The chance to buy the book courtesy of Little Wren Books!
- Select refreshments and time to mingle
Based on the firsthand stories of dozens of women leaders in the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), Women United examines what workplaces were like for women, how they became involved in the union, and the challenges women faced, sometimes at great personal cost. From struggles for representation in their union to their fight for affirmative action and childcare, and work against gender-based violence and harassment, Peggy Nash and Julie White make an important contribution to feminist, labour, and social history.
This event is free and open to all.
