Abstract

Women Working Worldwide (WWW) is a group of women in Britain concerned with the employment, pay and working conditions of working women internationally. This chapter uses the experience of Women Working Worldwide as a case study of women’s networking and information sharing, and looks at some of the tangible results of a sustained programme of work in areas of its concern over a period of more than seven years.
