This podcast by Mollie Gates is a poem. Sat in a dark central London factory surrounded by a male workforce, a woman works. Extensively, she polishes pennies by hand until they shine, placing them, one by one, into the pan of a set of scales. Treating each penny with precision and care, she begins to polish until each penny gleams. As she works, she longs for her life to be treated with equality and fairness, but each male she watches complete the same task as her, will be paid 27% more. She knows it’s not right, it’s unjust. But what can she do? She can only imagine a life where she is treated as an equal, an equal to those she works beside. Equal work, Equal pay.
