This study explores how these women used public sector resources to transmit the feminist message deep into a working-class community, beyond the reach of mainstream feminism at that time. This research is rooted within social history, giving voice to ‘ordinary people’. Using micro-history techniques to zoom in on certain people in one town sheds light on the influence of a social movement on wider society, suggesting important inferences about how gender history interprets late twentieth century Britain.1 METHODOLOGY Methods Feminism underpins both theme and methodology.
