Description
Round white and green badge with white and purple text, "The GLC Works For Women - Save It".


This badge was created to support the Greater London Council (GLC) which was threatened by the UK government under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the mid-1980s. One of the GLC’s key focuses was on improving conditions for women in areas like employment, housing, healthcare, and childcare, which aligned with feminist goals of equality and support for women's rights.
