If there’s one thing that “Mad Men” never sufficiently got into in its last days, it was the budding women’s rights movements of the 1970s. Well, a new Amazon series called “Good Girls Revolt” is here to do just that.

Based on Lynn Povich’s book “The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued their Bosses and Changed the Workplace,” the TV series tells the true story of Povich and other women, like filmmaker Nora Ephron, who worked at Newsweek in 1969. As the book’s synopsis continues, working at Newsweek “was a top-notch job — for a girl — at an exciting place. But it was a dead end. Women researchers sometimes became reporters, rarely writers, and never editors. Any aspiring female journalist was told, ‘If you want to be a writer, go somewhere else.’ On March 16, 1970, the day Newsweek published a cover story on the fledgling feminist movement entitled ‘Women in Revolt,’ forty-six Newsweek women charged the magazine with discrimination in hiring and promotion. It was the first female class action lawsuit — the first by women journalists — and it inspired other women in the media to quickly follow suit.”

Equality in the workplace, particularly in journalism, is a big issue right now, particularly in the area of film writing. Although society has made much progress in the 47 years since this story takes place, the sad fact is, that we can still look at the mastheads of some magazines printed today, in 2016, and see a list of senior editors that are all men.

“Good Girls Revolt” stars Anna Camp (“Pitch Perfect” franchise) and Grace Gummer (“Mr. Robot”) and was created by Dana Calvo (“Narcos”). The pilot is already streaming on Amazon, as the series was a part of Amazon’s pilot voting system, and the rest of the episodes will be available on October 28.
