International Working Women's Day has a socialist history. On this episode, we discuss the rebellious and revolutionary women who have been at the forefront of working class struggles from 1917 to today. From the legacy of the women's liberation in the 1970s to the global struggles erupting in 2019, there is much to celebrate and so much more to win. Roz is joined by Melbourne socialist activists Liz Walsh and Louisa Bassini to discuss how we fight sexism, and where we have the power to achieve genuine liberation.
