Riassunto

Anne Scargill and Betty Cook met at the beginning of the miners’ strike. Together they helped to create perhaps the greatest thing to come out of the strike, the Women Against Pit Closures movement. Inspired by the working-class values that raised them, they put their arms around those who needed support, fed the hungry, and stood firm against those whose intent was to destroy their way of life.

Once the strike was over, through education and direct action, they stepped over the threshold to support working people in struggle both at home and abroad, changing not only the direction of their own lives, but many other women too.

‘Their warmth, thoughtfulness and humour resound on every page.’
The Guardian

‘At once politically powerful, genuinely funny and personally moving.’
Red Pepper

‘A must read about two women with extraordinary courage and a commitment to their community that has never faltered.’
Ricky Tomlinson
