This paper analyses spatial influences in Sydney on labour women’s interwar industrial activism and strategic networks with labour and non-labour women. By referring to physical space and place, including to the Trades Hall, transport and streets, it shows how they used these spaces to reinforce their organising within the predominantly male world of Sydney’s labour movement.
