The book uniquely brings together and reproduces all three of their series: Women and Work (1975), Who's Holding the Baby? (1978), and Domestic Labour and Visual Representation (1980). Hackney Flashers' works denounce wage inequalities between women and men, the double burden of work for mothers, and the half-infantile, half-glamorous images of women disseminated by the media of the time. Photographer, journalist, editor, graphic designer, illustrator: the profiles of this non-mixed socialist feminist group gave its practice of public display a distinctive character, featuring panels composed of images, text, slogans, and illustrations. The Hackney Flashers produced a form of propaganda, to use their own words, addressing a range of social discriminations—essentially, an intersectional practice before the term was widely used.
