#OTD in 1970 the Equal Pay Act gained Royal Assent
It would take (and still taking) many years after #WW1 for women to finally achieve parity even though 100s of thousands of women proved how capable they were during the war
#WomensHist
More teachers. Postcard of members of the NUWT London Unit demonstrating for equal pay (1918) © UCL Institute of Education, Newsam Library and Archives London Transport posters - Women who answered the call were initially paid five shillings fewer than their male predecessors received, so they went on strike – or, as one conductor called Florence Cordell put it, “we struck for three or four days on Willesden Green... It was more or less a knees-up”! Photos London Transport Museum © Transport for London Isabel Salt, 1876-1968. Isabel was the youngest child and only daughter of Titus Salt Junior (youngest son of Sir Titus Salt, the founder of the model village of Saltaire) and his wife Catherine Crossley from the famous carpet manufacturing family of Halifax. Isabel and the First World War Isabel made sure that the work which women were doing was kept in the public eye, and war or no war she continued to advocate equal pay. The Shipley Times and Express for 21 April 1915 carried an account of a speech, Woman’s work in war time, where Isabel ranges over the effect of war on social questions "private interests must be sunk for the public good”. There must be a change in attitude to employment of women as drivers, interpreters, doctors, who did not get equal pay. There must be “Equal pay with men for equal work" This theme of opportunity for women in war is continued in various speeches: The great lesson of the war was that they [women] must gain more control over their destinies.
