The road to earning respect is full of thorns, undercurrents, and traps

Women have generally become independent and strong, which is also the result of the advancement of technology and material development in the past few decades.
On the road of fighting for rights and earning respect, first of all, women must be really capable and have ideas, and secondly, they must be persistent and have faith.

As susceptible as me, I cried again.

The characters in it are interesting. Rita, Babara, Eddie... I think Eddie is a good man who loves motorcycles, camping, and family.

British accents are hard to understand.
British house, decoration love.
I love British clothes and hairstyles. Immediately go search for the Biba brand, and that beautiful red dress. The big plastic earrings back then were probably only suitable for blond women to set off.

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!
