Discover the stories of creativity, labour and collective action at the heart of Earthly Paradise: Radical Living in the UK through this exclusive Women at Work T-shirt, created in partnership with Glasgow Women's Library and available from William Morris Gallery.

Featuring the iconic Women at Work logo, this striking T-shirt celebrates the contribution of women to working life, activism and social change. The logo was designed by Julie Roberts in 1990 and first appeared on a poster for Castlemilk Womanhouse, a pioneering community initiative that supported women through creativity, education and collective action. More than three decades later, the design remains a powerful symbol of women's labour, solidarity and empowerment.

Inspired by the post-1945 section of the exhibition, curated by Linsey Young, the T-shirt connects to themes of feminism, community organising and alternative ways of living. It forms part of a special range developed in partnership with Glasgow Women's Library, a pioneering organisation dedicated to preserving and sharing women's histories, stories and achievements. Through bold graphic design and historical references, the collection highlights the ongoing importance of women's voices in shaping culture and society.

Comfortable and easy to wear, this T-shirt combines everyday style with a meaningful connection to social history. Whether worn as a statement piece or collected as an exhibition souvenir, it offers a distinctive way to celebrate the enduring legacy of women's activism and collective action.

Every purchase directly supports William Morris Gallery, helping to fund vital conservation work, world-class exhibitions and community education programmes.
