“May Hobbs: A Story on the Night Cleaners’ Strike” (2017), de Maggie Gee, rescata el papel de May Hobbs en la creación y organización del Cleaners Action Group (CAG) que recibió el apoyo del Women Liberation Movement (WLM). Este trabajo analiza el relato de Gee como un texto políticamente comprometido que aborda aspectos fundamentales de esa lucha: cuestiones de representación, divisiones de clase y alianzas entre mujeres, para enfatizar que lo personal es realmente político.
Maggie Gee’s “May Hobbs: a Story on the Night Cleaners’ Strike” (2017) helps to rescue from oblivion the role May Hobbs played in forming the Cleaners Action Group (CAG), which received the support of the Women Liberation Movement (WLM). I argue that this short story is a politically committed text which addresses main aspects of the Campaign such as issues of representation, class divisions and sisterhood alliances, to emphasise the different ways in which the personal is indeed political.
