Good Girls Revolt

Good Girls Revolt is an American period drama streaming television series. It is inspired by Lynn Povich's 2013 book The Good Girls Revolt and based on real-life events. The show was released on October 28, 2016, on Amazon Prime Video. On December 2, 2016, Amazon cancelled the series after one season. Plot The series follows a group of young female writers at the fictitious News of the Week magazine (representing the real Newsweek of the non-fiction book The Good Girls Revolt) in the revolutionary times of the women's movement. Women in the newsroom ("The Pit") are relegated to low-level positions (the researchers). Many researchers are more talented and better educated than their male colleagues (the reporters), and do original writing ("files") that the reporters later incorporate more-or-less directly into their stories, often without adaptation ("rewrite"), and always without attribution ("byline"), yet they are paid considerably less.
