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.

These women have a sense that they're paid a lot less, and during the series it emerges just how much lower their pay is (about one-third of their colleague reporter's salary). But also at issue is the fact that their writing is not recognized: on a rare occasion when a female researcher's writing is openly accepted (such as when a male reporter quits just before a deadline), the researcher's story is nonetheless published, but under the departed reporter's name only.[7]
