We're women - but we're workers 1975 is International Women's Year; the year when Equal Pay becomes law. But behind the paper promises lies the bitter experience of women who work in small factories in places like Inkersall, a village in Derbyshire.
There, a strike by women workers over a wage increase has split the community. It has left many of them with a deep sense of betrayal against their fellow men trade unionists. They claim that no one took them seriously, with a show of solidarity, because they are women.
Harold Williamson talks to the women on the picket line; to trade union officials and management, experiencing their first real taste of determined industrial action by women.
