The story : It is the spring of 1968 in Dagenham , England.
There are currently 55,000 men working for the local Ford Automobile Factory.
There are also 187 women.
The machinist section of the plant employs all women.
When their male supervisor advises them that if they would like a chance to be heard due to putting a complaint in about not getting fair wages , and having that complaint ignored , there will be a meeting and they should be involved.
Two of the women are picked to go.
At the meeting their complaints are not even talked about and this sets the women off more so than before.
The women decide to strike but they don't get much immediate attention.
Then the supervisor explains the unfair situation women have been dealing with for years never gaining the respect to be paid equally to the men employees and that sends the women right through the roof.
Now constantly striking and with their leader , fellow employee Rita backing them at every turn , they fight to get equal pay where it is due.
