This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.
Parks and Rec, The Newsroom, The Office, 30 Rock, Mad Men, Law and Order… what do all of these award-winning shows have in common? 
 
The workplace is an enthralling setting for television dramas.
The required interaction of wholly dissimilar people, the hierarchies, and the intricate drama make for a great playground for show writers. New to Amazon Prime video, the pilot episode of Good Girls Revolt follows the women of Newsweek in 1969. There the male reports get bylines and praise from higher-ups while the female “researches” do all the dirty work of journalism. Based on the 2012 book The Good Girls Revolt, the show is to follow story of the women of Newsweek who sued the company citing gender-based discrimination in hiring and advancement. The book was written by award-winning journalist Lynn Povich who was one of the 46 women who sued the magazine.
The pilot stars Lena Hall, Anna Camp, Grace Gummer, Hunter Parrish, Jim Belushi, Chris Diamantopoulos, Teddy Bergman, and Genevieve Angelson.
The rest of the show has yet to be produced. To make it happen Amazon is running a promotion for viewers to vote for their next pilot season. So watch the show, give it a 5-star review, and then go to amazonpreview.com and let them know that this show MUST go on.
