‘ROUSE YE WOMEN’

20 February

In 1910 the women chain makers of Cradley Heath focussed the world’s attention on the plight of Britain’s lowpaid women home workers, hammering out chain-links in sheds in the backyards of their homes with their babies and children for five shillings (25p) for a 50-hour week. Through rousing traditional songs and moving ballads, Townsend Theatre Productions
reveals the horrors of sweated labour.
