 Haven't read this yet, though I went to the book launch (where I got this - signed - copy from) back in May. Hoping to get to it soon.

Lillian Bilocca (locally known as "Big Lil") is something of a folk hero in Hull - she led the campaign to improve safety standards at sea following the "triple trawler tragedy" of 1968, when three Hull trawlers sank in the space of just a few short weeks. Only one man - Harry Eddom, subsequently the subject of a very fine folk song - survived. 58 men never came home. Safety standards at the time were virtually non-existent - Lillian and her group of headscarf revolutionaries would change that in the face of opposition from all sides.

Big Lil's story is well-known in Hull (and indeed elsewhere) and this new book has garnered universally positive reviews - I look forward to reading it.
