This past year, women in Hollywood have been speaking out against injustices in the industry, as well as demanding equal pay to that of their male costars. Based on the novel of the same name by Lynn Povich, Good Girls Revolt focuses on the same issues — just in a different industry and time period.
The historical drama follows three young women who work as researchers at a news magazine in 1969. Despite their talent, their potential is often overlooked and they're forced to do menial tasks, while unqualified men are given all of the opportunities. After discovering that their work has gone uncredited and that they are being paid significantly less than their male co-workers, a fire ignites within them, sparking aspirations that rebel against the gender hierarchy of the late 1960s. Although the series received positive reviews from critics, Amazon canceled Good Girls Revolt after just one season. Fortunately, it's being shopped around elsewhere and a second season may be available sooner than you think!
Watch it now.
