On International Workers’ Day
On International Workers’ Day, we celebrate the work of women who shape the fabric of our lives but who are too often unseen. These portraits are from Sarah Ainslie’s book WOMEN AT WORK which we are currently crowdfunding to publish this autumn.
Thanks to the contributions of 68 supporters we have raised £7,174 in the first two weeks but we still have quite a way to go to reach our target of £25,000.
If you have not yet contributed please consider doing so now.
