This impressive biography will enable Kath Williams to take her place as one of Australia's most important activists for women's rights. Kath Williams was a trade unionist and a communist before taking on the mantle of feminist after World War II. With a trade unionist ex-husband who was elected to Federal Politics opposing her left wing campaigns, Kath emerges as a feisty and quietly determined woman. Her campaign of conviction was the major force behind the achievement of equal pay for women. This book documents the struggles of so many, for the rights of so many more Australian women and provides a good insight and understanding of the long tradition of fighting for justice in Australia.
