Throughout her life, Joyce Butler campaigned tirelessly on a number of fronts - housing, healthcare access, legislation to prevent sex discrimination, and consumer rights, to name a few - earning her the moniker 'The National Woman's MP'.
In this gallery talk, Joyce Butler Project Outreach and Engagement Officer Chlo Williams will explore Butler's wide-ranging career and interests, as she fought for 'housewives' campaigns to be considered of national interest and priority.
This Women's History Month, join us to ask what makes a 'women's issue', how women like Joyce Butler have fought for change over decades, and what we have all gained from their activism.
This event is part of the Joyce Butler Project based at Bruce Castle. The project examines the histories of women's lives, rights and work in post-war Britain.
