Summary

In Melbourne in 1973 women's liberation members, such as Janey Stone, who wished to deepen links between the women's movement and the labour movement, formed the Working Women's Group. This later became the Working Women's Centre. Its emphasis on issues affecting women in the workplace, notably equal pay and equal opportunity in employment, distinguished it from other components of the women's movement that campaigned for better access to abortion, childcare, and educational opportunities, and against sex-role stereotyping and sexism in society at large. However, as this leaflet shows, the Working Women's Centre embraced all such issues but struggled for them first and foremost in the workplace.
