Three women reflect on their memories of witnessing and supporting the Burnsall Strike, a 1992 workers' resistance movement led by Punjabi women in Smethwick. From within their memories, another voice emerges, one that engages with the domestic and personal. Together, these voices attempt to reconstruct the forgotten wholeness of the lives of South Asian women, against the political and social backdrop of life in the UK.
