An aspiring writer, Skeeter quickly lands a job at the local newspaper, but not writing the kinds of stories she thinks will matter, in fact she writes a daily cleaning column and so turns to her friends' maids to get advice. She decides to dig deeper into the problems in her hometown’s society after spending time with her friends who have all married and started families while she was at school, and she soon finds that even though the maids are like part of the family, no one has ever bothered to hear their side of things. Meanwhile they are often treated poorly, especially when the wives in charge are trying to make a good impression on their friends. Struck by inspiration Skeeter decides to collect stories from all the maids about their experiences and turn it into a book, starting with the maids of her friends, like patient and sad Aibileen (played by Viola Davis) and sassy Minny (played by Octavia Spencer). The maids and Skeeter hope the book will drag a place too stuck in its ways into the civil rights movement that is sweeping across America during that time.
