The Willmar 8

Description

The story of eight women in America's heartland—Willmar, Minnesota—who were driven by sex discrimination at work to find themselves unexpectedly at the forefront of the struggle for women's rights. Risking jobs, friends, family, and the opposition of church and community, they began the longest bank strike in American history in a dramatic attempt to assert their own equality and self-worth.
