THE HEADSCARF REVOLUTIONARIES

By Brian W Lavery

Synopsis

In the harsh seas of 1968, three trawlers from Hull sank in just three weeks and 58 men died. One fishwife, Lilian Bilocca started a petition and took her battle to Parliament. The actions of her team of women changed the Shipping Laws and the lives of thousands of seamen were made much safer.
