Iron Ladies is the untold story of working-class women who, during the 1984-85 Miners' Strike, found themselves at the forefront of a battle against the British state. From Scotland down to Kent, women from the coalfields shed light on their experiences of the year long struggle, and how they became the backbone of the Strike. With many still active today, their actions reshaped the landscape of political activism for working-class women.
The film is showing on 21st November, followed by a special Q&A with film contributors Carol Ross and Linda Erskine.
The film is a 12A.
