It's funny reading your post so soon after starting my new job. I'm now cataloguing the records of the National Union of Women Teachers - a Union founded with the specific aim of achieving equal pay for women teachers. When this was achieved in 1961 the Union was wound up. I imagine the teaching profession to be one of the few where equal pay actually does exist. I know I'm going to learn so much in my new job as I don't come from a history background, and shamefully don't have much knowledge of my own of women's history, but I'm looking forward to learning!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183395919767332073noreply@blogger.com
