“We’ll make our own terms. We’ll be the masters now.” When the workers of an English town walk out, families face empty cupboards and divided loyalties, and the arguments of supply and demand are debated in kitchens and workshops. Giberne follows several households through the strike to show what victory might cost.
A Victorian didactic tale with a clear view against strikes, interesting as a record of how the labour question was put to young readers. Download the free EPUB.
