Claire Dove

In the 1980s, Claire Dove faced racism in her hunt for a job. Her response? Claire co-founded the Women's Technology and Education Centre (WTEC) to provide training for low paid and unemployed women. Today the centre, now Blackburne House, has helped around 20,000 women. Alongside Claire's Story, see Blackburne House represented in Mike Jones' painting 'Unemployment on Merseyside – campaigning for the right to work'.
