    It was given 4 stars on the ODEON website, so decided to check it out. The accent is a little uncomfortable, but if there is a DVD version, I will consider taking a picture and watch it slowly. Based on real events, the British town in 1968, the scene is very characteristic of the era, the number of female workers in the male sovereign world is only as small as a dot, the simple working environment, unequal treatment, the favorite heroine said "EVERYBODY" ~...

    Compared with similar feminist themes, this film is joyful and always uplifting, not to mention his suffering family conflicts, not to his literary emphasis, the director's sensitivity and wonderful control of the group drama make it all look like a female party. This is a great performance art!...

    We are ladies, not bitches.


    Watching this movie during this emotional period of the South Walk incident can obviously get a little warmth in the cold winter.


    She should not have thought that Barbara would give them such a good result in the end.

    EVERYBODY,OUT

    The whole film is full of joyful atmosphere, happy music, happy costumes, and happy smiles. If you want to make a more bitter film, you can do it. Maybe you have a better chance of winning.

    The original name is "we want sex". In the first half of the strike slogan, when the banner in the film was...

Made in Dagenham quotes

  • [Albert is being accused by his union of scuppering other negotiations with management by supporting the women's equal-pay strike]

    Bartholomew: As a union we have to remember who comes first. The Communist Party. And Marx himself said "Men write their own history". That's "men", Albert.

    Albert Passingham: But didn't he also say "Progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex"? Or was that a different Marx? That was Groucho, was it?

    [Bartholomew is lost for words]

    Albert Passingham: Equal pay across the board. You telling me that ain't worth fighting for? Of course it is, and you know it. I'll tell you something. This Rita has got a bigger set of balls than you three put together. And she ain't scared to lay 'em on the line, neither. And I for one am gonna help her. And if you are what you say you are, an organisation pledged to support its members, then you'll get off your lazy fat arses and you'll help her too. Good fucking evening.

    [Albert walks out of the office]

  • [Rita gives an impromptu speech at the trade union conference]

    Rita O'Grady: My best friend lost her husband recently. He was a gunner in the 50 Squadron in the RAF. Got shot down one time, on a raid to Essen. And even though he was badly injured, he managed to bail out. I asked him why he joined the RAF, and he said "Well, they've got the best women, haven't they?"

    [audience laughs]

    Rita O'Grady: And then he said "Well, you've got to do something, haven't you? You had to do something, that was a given. Cos it was a matter of principle. You had to stand up. You had to do what was right. Cos otherwise you wouldn't be able to look at yourself in the mirror." When did that change, eh? When did we, in this country, decide to stop fighting? I don't think we ever did. But you've got to back us up. You've got to stand up with us. *We* are the working classes - the men *and* the women. We're not separated by sex, but only by those who are willing to accept injustice and those like our friend George who are prepared to go into battle for what is right. And equal pay for women *is* right.
