When we think of 60s revolutionaries, the women of Dagenham don’t fit the clichés – but these feisty, funny factory girls shook their world with spirit and courage and achieved lasting social change. Based on a true story, Made in Dagenham portrays a decisive moment in that decade of upheaval, when the fight for equal rights and pay was led – unexpectedly – by ordinary working-class women with one foot in the kitchen, one foot on the factory floor, and ears glued to the pop coming over the radio and telly from far-off London (19 kilometres and a world away). It’s a vintage-girl power tale.
