  • The Involvement of the Women of the South Wales Coalfield In

    The Involvement of the Women of the South Wales Coalfield In

    “Not Just Supporting But Leading”: The Involvement of the Women of the South Wales Coalfield in the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike By Rebecca Davies Enrolment: 00068411 Thesis submitted for Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Glamorgan February 2010. ABSTRACT The 1984-85 miners’ strike dramatically changed the face of the South Wales Valleys. This dissertation will show that the women’s groups that played such a crucial supportive role in it were not the homogenous entity that has often been portrayed. They shared some comparable features with similar groups in English pit villages but there were also qualitative differences between the South Wales groups and their English counterparts and between the different Welsh groups themselves. There is evidence of tensions between the Welsh groups and disputes with the communities they were trying to assist, as well as clashes with local miners’ lodges and the South Wales NUM. At the same time women’s support groups, various in structure and purpose but united in the aim of supporting the miners, challenged and shifted the balance of established gender roles The miners’ strike evokes warm memories of communities bonding together to fight for their survival. This thesis investigates in detail the women involved in support groups to discover what impact their involvement made on their lives afterwards. Their role is contextualised by the long-standing tradition of Welsh women’s involvement in popular politics and industrial disputes; however, not all women discovered a new confidence arising from their involvement. But others did and for them this self-belief survived the strike and, in some cases, permanently altered their own lives.

    Section 1: a Minister Proposed, 1941-51

    Defending the Constitution: the Conservative Party & the idea of devolution, 1945-19741 In retrospect, the interwar years represented a golden age for British Conservatism. As the Times remarked in 1948, during the ‘long day of Conservative power which stretched with only cloudy intervals between the two world wars’ the only point at issue was how the party might ‘choose to use the power that was almost their freehold’.2 Nowhere was this sense of all-pervading calm more evident than in the sphere of constitutional affairs. The settlement of the Irish question in 1921-22 ensured a generation of relative peace for the British constitution.3 It removed from the political arena an issue that had long troubled the Conservatives’ sense of ‘civic nationalism’ - their feeling that the defining quality of the ‘nation’ to which they owed fealty was the authority of its central institutions, notably parliament and the Crown – and simultaneously took the wind from the sails of the nationalist movements in Wales and Scotland.4 Other threats to the status quo, such as Socialism, were also kept under control. The Labour Party’s failure to capture an outright majority of seats at any inter-war election curbed its ability to embark on the radical reshaping of society that was its avowed aim, a prospect which, in any case, astute Tory propagandising ensured was an unattractive proposition to most people before the second world war.5 1 I would like to record my thanks to Dr James McConnel, Ewen Cameron and Stuart Ball for their input to this chapter.

    THE LLANCARFAN SOCIETY Newsletter 113 August 2002 Editorial During the 1950s, six years of my young life were spent as a student in London, a time when Dickens and Victoriana still vaguely haunted it. It was a joyful time, which I often remember. For the last week or two I have re-indulged that past by reading Peter Ackroyd's magical book: London - a Biograph,y discovering that the City has hidden facets, some of which would mean little had Llancarfan not imbued me with a mid-life interest in history. Our last Newsletter 112 contained an article on the persistent association of stags with Llancarfan so it was with some excitement that I found that a strange ceremony used to take place at St Pauls in which a stag’s head was impaled on a spear and carried about the church. This survived into the 16th century. London had its wells, which were old even in medieval times, perhaps prehistoric survivals, and just as our Llancarfan wells, they cured a host of ills. Near Cripplegate there was one that had been guarded by monks and thus known as Monkswell, reminiscent of our Cadoc’s Well. Do you remember the young men of Penmark who disastrously smote their church bells with a sledgehammer in an attempt to out-ring the neighbouring parishes? London boys “made bets as to who could make the bells heard at the greatest distance.” So many similarities from so long ago. Nowadays, everyone from the Aleutians to the Falklands watches TV! A successful summer Hog roast by Alan Taylor The Hog Roast was a fantastic success.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT In 1974 the House of Commons agreed by Resolution to take the un­ precedented step of introducing a Register of Members' Interests. It also converted the convention that a Member should declare any personal pecuniary interest relevant to any debate or proceeding into a rule of the House. These measures were designed to avoid actual or apparent conflict between a Member's private interests and his public duties as an MR. The experience of the House in dealing with c o n flic t of inte rest, and the problems of defining, identifying and regulating this phenom­ enon, have, hitherto, been discussed only peripherally in academic l i t e r ­ ature on Parliament.
