    In contrast, the bravery that poor and working-class women like the McDonald’s workers or even middle-class women show in embracing this battle is rarely either dramatic or self-pitying.

    “We need to hear from people – not the actresses, not the people you are asking for autographs from, but those cleaning on the night shift, who have been grappling with this issue for decades,” says SEIU United Service Workers West secretary-treasurer Alejandra Valles. She represents “invisible women”, as she puts it. “If MeToo’s prominent women don’t listen to others, this will be a huge lost opportunity.”
