Sara DiamondThis subsubseries consists of the Women’s Labour History Project oral histories, conducted by Sara Diamond through the 1970s and 1980s. These interviews document the experiences of working class women from the 1920’s through the 1950’s, and in some cases, beyond. The interviewees talk about their lives as children, working women, housewives, and trade unionists. Their personal biographies span many countries and provinces, however, the focus of the interviews is on their activities in British Columbia from the Great Depression to the immediate post-war period.
Segments of the video interviews were incorporated into Diamond’s docudrama television series Keeping The Home Fires Burning (1988). Combining original Canadian wartime propaganda, interviews with working class women, original film footage, photographs, musical soundtracks and dramatization, Keeping the Home Fires Burning explored Canadian women’s working and domestic lives during and after World War Two.

Sara DiamondD.W.I. (Dragu Worker International) was a piece of protest and performance art by Dragu first performed in 1984. Dragu organized a parade and demonstration. On leaflets distributed at the time, she wrote: "I started calling myself Dragu Worker International in July 1984. My official walkout started on Sept. 10th (one day before my 34th birthday). My strike is personal; an opportunity to articulate what my demands are. What the hell I am complaining about. They change and expand as my strike continues; and as I get in touch with my feelings about how I work as an actress, choreographer, performance artist, filmmaker, producer, cleaning lady, teacher, etc. etc...." The leaflet includes a list of demands and a photocopy of her parade permit from the Toronto police.
