It is based on the true story of award winning journalist Lynn Povich, who, along with 46 other women, sued Newsweek for sex discrimination.
It was a ground-breaking case which allowed women to take on the role of reporter and culminated in Povich becoming the first ever female senior editor for the magazine. In 2012 Povich wrote a book titled The Good Girls Revolt about the case and how it changed the face of journalism which inspired this dramatisation.
