    There are so many familiar faces, Su La in Fingersmith, Detective Lace in Sherlock, and your circle is really small. . . The most sympathetic part is that Rita yells at her husband, you don't drink, gamble, and beat children. You are a saint, but isn't that what it should be?...

    Let's see how hard it is for Westerners to defend their rights. The so-called resistance is nothing more than a husband complaining a few words and then riding a motorcycle to chase after him to apologize. Allies defect and then quickly return to the camp. Politicians decide to fight capitalists after swinging twice. Tsk tsk, I'm about to cry, what kind of rights protection is this? In the words of Lao Luo's speech, "history chose them" to do this, that's...

    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...

    Made in Dagenham, Women's Emancipation

    The story is about the successful story of the strike of female workers in the Ford company in the 1960s to fight for equal pay for men and women. It belongs to the milestone of the times. Leaving aside this wonderful story itself, the passion for thinking it inspires can be reminiscent of a lot....h

Made in Dagenham quotes

  • [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!

  • [Peter Hopkins is entertaining Ford boss Robert Tooley at home. He clearly regards Lisa as a wife whose only purpose is to look pretty and to be a cook, but Robert sounds out her opinions]

    Robert Tooley: Lisa. Do you mind if I call you Lisa? You must have quite a head on your shoulders. Peter tells me that you read history at Cambridge.

    Lisa Hopkins: [nervously] Yes I did.

    Robert Tooley: Mind if I ask: what do you think of our little problem over at the factory? Do you think maybe he's a bit too much velvet glove, not enough iron fist?

    Lisa Hopkins: Not at all, no. Quite the opposite, actually. Look at Vauxhall. *They* don't have any problems with the unions. And that seems to be because General Motors have a more collaborative approach to management. Whereas at Ford you only deal with the unions because you *have* to. You tolerate them. And as a result they're more entrenched and they're aggressive in their dealings with you.

    [Robert and Peter look speechless]

    Robert Tooley: [patronisingly] Well that's a very *progressive* point of view.
