Fixers: Women and Housing Corruption in 1950s Belfast
Elliott, Marianne (Professor Emerita, Irish Studies, Professor Emerita, Irish Studies, University of Liverpool)
Marianne Elliott tells the story of a group of 'fixers': working-class women in 1950s Belfast who found ways of regulating their lives through the blizzard of petty officialdom. It focuses on the life of Annie Copeland, who became the go-to figure for housing advice in the city and was later the subject of a much-publicized corruption trial.
