Description: | During the Second World War, women stepped up to support the nation.
Eileen Payne was one of the thousands of London women who took on the jobs of men who had left to fight in the war.
But Eileen remembers that women still had to fight to be treated fairly. It was only through the support of the unions, notably the Transport and General Workers Union (T.G.W.U.), that women were given the same wages as men would have earned for the job. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics Work | Temporal: | 1940-1949 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
