Yes, I loved that back story, and loved Bob Hoskins in the role! Albert had such respect for the women; it was really refreshing!
I think that one of the most moving scenes was when Lisa came to visit Rita at her apartment (right after George's funeral) to tell her that the teacher had been let go.
Lisa let Rita know that she was behind the women's strike, was proud that they were actually *making* history, and do let her know the outcome. She had fond memories of reading history at Cambridge (and a slight bitterness about her current role as housewife, I guess).
"I'm Lisa Burnett, I'm 31 years old and I have a first class honours degree from one of the finest universities in the world, and my husband treats me like I'm a fool."
I also loved the scene when Rita comes to Lisa's house to borrow the red dress!

Always nice to know that the hereditary bourgeoisie will side with working class women, as long as they are the winners - from their Gucci pads in their Biba dresses.

Agreed. That's why it's so important that working class women and working class men join sides together to tackle the common enemy, the bourgeoisie elite. Class warfare
not a battle between the sexes or racial/religious groups is what we need.
