In the course of the study, we encounter precious sources that give a glimpse into the experiences of these women, experiences that were unknown, disregarded, or omitted before. The research agenda of ZARAH also includes making such sources available to the scholarly community and interested public via an online database. In order to showcase research in progress, we would like to share here some illuminating sources that we have encountered so far here, on the website of ZARAH. Sources such as these form the indispensable springboard for the thoughtful analysis of the history of women\u2019s labor activism.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201eRight from the start of her research, an historian investigating women\u2019s labour activism is confronted with a challenge: sources often tend to focus on men rather than women, even when <a href=\"https:\/\/zarah-ceu.org\/finding-women-in-the-sources-an-introduction-to-zarah-blog-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2026\u201c.
