Dr Margaret MacCurtain, feminist historian, speaking at the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate the founding of the Irish Women Workers’ Union more than 100 years ago and its role in the 1913 Lockout.
“We are actually at the end of those 100 years, a very unequal society. It’s not our fault. It’s the whole idea of capitalism.
