Amazon's description of the series:
Good Girls Revolt’s main characters are a group of young female researchers -- Jane Hollander (Anna Camp), Patti Robinson (Genevieve Angelson), and Cindy Reston (Erin Darke) -- who recognize they’re being treated unfairly in their jobs at “News of the Week.” As they start to ask for the equality they deserve, their actions bring on unexpected consequences. The pilot episode is inspired by the first female class action lawsuit, which took place in 1970 when 46 women charged Newsweek with discrimination. Lynn Povich was of the ringleaders and chronicled the case in her book The Good Girls Revolt. The series’ pilot also features characters inspired by the book that featured the “real” Nora Ephron and Eleanor Holmes Norton.
