Low budget British film Made in Dagenham shows the journey Rita and the machinists go on in their fight for woman’s rights and increased pay in compared to the men doing the same job. The film represents 1960’s Britain and the women in the factory fight against the hypocritical and stereotypical way of life, showing bravery and determination. The British women in this film are portrayed as strong individuals that believe in fighting for their rights, just as the real women from Ford did before. However, the men in this male dominated society are shown as being traditional and down understand why the women are going on strike. This shows clearly the stereotypical views in Britain about women and the means attitudes to them. Rita’s husband Eddie is has certain expectations of his wife, and it is assumed that it is her job to look after the household and the children, as well as cooking and working herself. When Rita is striking, the roles in the house fall upon Eddie, who evidently is unable to cope with it and believes himself a ‘saint’ for trying, and for never raising a hand to Rita or the children. Rita grows in confidence as the film goes on and fights back, saying that that is how it ‘should be’. Even the wife of a ford manager is said to be treated as a ‘fool’, despite her Cambridge university degree in History. She too is treated as a housewife and is not expected to go on to anything bigger or more important because of the fact she is a woman. The dress of the characters in Made in Dagenham is typical of the period it is set as well as their rather large hairstyles. Overall the film Made in Dagenham, based on real events, portrays a good view of Britain in the 60’s, giving an idea of their family life, work and dress.
