Via the Guardian newspaper article.
I only learned who Jayaben Desai was in the summer, reading a book about "what really happened to Britain in the Seventies". Her contribution to trade union history, in terms of winning recognition both for her race and her gender, is vital to recognise, and although I have little of my own to add, I wanted to mark her passing here. Read the Guardian article, and you will see what an important person she truly was.

Comments Moderation Policy
This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
