This is the first monograph devoted to the Hackney Flashers, a group of nine women activists who practised agitprop between 1974 and 1980 in the working-class district of Hackney in London. Their work denounced the pay gap between women and men, the double working day of mothers, and the half-infantile, half-glamorous pictures of women circulated by the media of the time. The volume brings together and reproduces, for the first time in full, all three of their series.
