As the author states, "[t]he Laundresses' Union contains some splendid speakers - women who, although they have no education, can speak words which go right home to the hearts of their hearers." 3) At a demonstration held in Hyde Park in commemoration of the Dock Strike, Mrs. Hicks asked men to support women in their struggles and fights against exploitation, just as the women's unions had supporten men in their struggles.
