I was looking for idea on "Musical" and saw this show, (now on in London) which made me choose the DT image this week from Bugaboo. Let me tell you a story, then perhaps you will understand how this card came about.

Essex 1968. Like millions of other working women, each morning Rita O'Grady is just trying to get her husband out of bed, get the kids off to school and get to work at the factory on time. But life is about to change forever when it’s announced that the girls in the sewing room of Ford’s Dagenham UK. car plant will have their pay grade dropped to ‘unskilled’. 

Quickly drawing on a strength she never knew she had, Rita leads her friends in a battle against the might of Ford and the corruption of the Union supposed to protect them. As the girls’ inspiring journey gets bigger than anyone could have imagined, the pressure is too much for some, but can Rita keep up the fight and the happy home she’s worked so hard for?

This is the musical show I am depicting here today in my card. I can remember this story from the time it happened.  What a woman! (I hope you don't think I am being political about this, but it just shows how inspiring ordinary women can be)
