This website is dedicated to writing by working-class people, our political struggles and our accomplishments. Historically, the working class have made up about three-quarters of the population, although the representation of our experiences has been conspicuously absent in literature. Material hardship has prevented working-class people from articulating our own history, having neither the time nor the literacy to write. Women have furthermore had to contend with housework and childrearing.
The UK is still a class-ridden society, and social class remains a determining feature of life. Therefore, it is imperative to highlight working-class writing, recognise working-class people's experiences and achievements, and write us into history.
This website is complicit in this quest.
