About this Event
“It’s ma job tae work and it’s yours tae make it go roon.”
This talk explores the community from the perspective of its women. It uses oral testimonies to shed light on the role of shipyard wives in managing family budgets, sustaining networks of family members and neighbours to help make ends meet on a daily basis, and to ensure their community survived the routine challenges of life in this shipbuilding community. Drawing on original interviews, it reflects on the role of oral history in introducing voices neglected by the formal record.
