Because she has no job perspectives, she is forced to move back in with her parents in her Minnesota hometown. There she meets her old friend Glory (Frances McDormand), who helps her get a job at the local iron mine and lets Josey and her children stay with her and her husband Kyle (Sean Bean).On her first day at work, Josey is harassed by her co-worker and old high school boyfriend (Jeremy Renner). Josey quickly finds out that the female workers are being verbally and physically abused by men who feel like they are taking away their jobs. When Josey refuses to keep quiet like the rest of the women, things get ugly for her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The title is based on the Bob Dylan song "Girl from the North Country".

 Accomplice by Inaction: Ricky is constantly shown to be uncomfortable by what the others do to the women and does, but never tells them off for it or tries to stop them (except for the outhouse incident), or speaks up in their defense even when asked to. He Grew a Spine at the end though, and is one of those to stand up and support Josey's claims in court.

 Based on a True Story: In 1988, the first class-action sexual harassment lawsuit in the U.S. was filed on behalf of Lois Jenson and other female workers against the EVTAC iron mine.

 Amoral Attorney: Slightly averted. The lawyer representing the mine comes off as this at first, but it's later revealed that she actually wants the mine to take a plea because she knows the loss will be great and shows some faint distaste for Pierson.
