Women not only have to watch their children cook, but also do the same work as men, and their salary is much less than that of men. This kind of bastard logic has been practiced for so many years, and it can be seen that social progress does require struggle.

Rita said that what his husband said was good - if you don't gamble, don't play with women, and don't beat children, you will make meritorious deeds, that's what you should do!

Digression: I was reading "Mr. Nice" this morning. It said that a student at Oxford University died of a drug overdose. That person was the grandson of Harold Macmillan. I checked it out and found out that this Harold Macmillan is the British after Churchill. Prime Minister, this little knowledge really came in handy when watching this movie at night. The Prime Minister in the movie who was afraid of offending Ford was the one whose grandson died of a drug overdose.

Made in Dagenham quotes

  • [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.

  • [following her talk with Rita, Connie and the rest of the Dagenham women, Barbara Castle makes a statement to the waiting journalists]

    Barbara Castle: I am delighted to announce that, following our talks this afternoon, the 187 Ford machinists *will* be going back to work on the 1st of July. They will receive an immediate pay rise of seven pence an hour which will put them at 92 percent of the male rate. However this is not all. As a result of our discussion, I can confirm that the Government is in full support of the creation of an Equal Pay Act, and by the autumn of this year I guarantee appropriate legislation to ensure that this act becomes law!
