Stand up comedian and political commentator Ayesha Hazarika's hero is Jayaben Desai.
Jayaben led a two year strike at Grunwick Film processing factory in North London.
The majority of the workers were migrant women and they became known as the 'strikers in sarees'.
Matthew Parris remembers the strike in 1976 as he was working in Margaret Thatcher's office at the time, but only recalls the violence at the picket line and the fact that the strike failed.
Can Ayesha convince Matthew Parris that Jayaben Desai deserves the accolade of a great life?
With Dr Sundari Anitha, co- author of 'Striking Women'.
Producer: Perminder Khatkar
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2018.
