FORD Dagenham’s famous women strikers were back on the front line of the fight to end Britain’s gender pay gap yesterday — almost 50 years after their historic victory.

Gwen Davis, Vera Sime, Eileen Pullen and Sheila Douglass marched on Parliament with Mind the Gap campaigners as MPs voted on equal pay.

The women — whose 1968 strike was the inspiration behind the Made in Dagenham film and musical — picked up placards once more to tackle the 23 per cent chasm between men and women’s salaries.
