This week we're celebrating the legacy of the Chainmakers of Cradley Heath, who put down their tools in protest at the exploitative practices of the UK manufacturers. Amy is joined by Jenny and Gigi Ermoyenous, and Lucy Atherton from the Friends of the Women Chainmakers to explore what led to the strike, who the key figures were, and why this small town in the Black Country became the focus of a national campaign.
More information about the Women Chainmakers, and the upcoming festival, is available on www.kickasswomenofhistory.com
