#OnThisDay, 7 Jun 1968, 187 women working at the Ford car factory in Dagenham, UK, go on strike demanding recognition as skilled workers.

They are led by Rosie Boland and Lil O'Callaghan. After three weeks they win concessions as production had to be shut down. The strike was one of the triggers for the Equal Pay Act 1970 that made it illegal to pay women and men differently if they are doing the same job.

A group of the machinists, carrying banners calling for equal rights in pay and grading. They are all white women, and clearly it was a cool June that year as they are all wearing raincoats.
