It is based on a southern young woman who has grown up during that period and after she finishes the university becomes a journalist who wants to write a book based from the viewpoint of the maids (servants) because she sees the wrongs and wants to exposed the racist women who exploit the maids.

It is funny, entertaining and heartbreaking at the same time. This film is a TRUE look at racism, stereotyping of the American 1950’s at the treatment of the Afro-American culture as well as the women who fought to change it. Brilliant book and the screen play written is pure genius!

Emma Stone would represent me as a young white woman fighting for justice in those times and the 1960’s in Jackson, Mississippi even though I was only a young girl and witnessed all of it.
I should know…I lived through that era because I was born and raised in Mississippi. This is a movie that no one should miss seeing. Enjoy it and learn the TRUTH.
