Betty Cook and Anne Scargill, two founding members of Women Against Pit Closures, share their insightful journey in supporting miners and their families during the historic UK miners' strike of 1984-85. Join us for a special discussion three decades later as they reflect on picketing, community bonds, and the empowerment of women in traditionally male-dominated coalfield communities.
This enlightening conversation is led by Triona Holden, an accomplished artist, writer, and broadcaster. Triona, the author of ""Queen Coal: Women of the Miners' Strike,"" brings a unique perspective, having covered the miners' strike for the BBC throughout the 1980s.
