In the U.S, Woolworth's department store was the Wal-Mart of the early 20th century. The women who worked the counters, cash registers and storerooms were overworked, underpaid and sexually harassed. This is the inspiring story of how these courageous women fought back against corporate exploitation and oppression, by employing the first successful all female sit-down strike in American history. The Woolworth's strike was a defining moment in the history of women's rights.
