“They couldn’t kill their bosses, so they did the next best thing - they organized. When Dolly Parton sang
“9 to 5,” she was doing more than just shining a light on the fate of American working women. Parton was
singing the true story of a movement that started with 9to5, a group of Boston secretaries in the early 1970s. Their goals were simple - better pay, more advancement opportunities, and an end to sexual harassment - but their unconventional approach attracted the press and shamed their bosses into change. Featuring interviews with 9to5’s founders, as well as actor and activist Jane Fonda, 9to5: The Story of a Movement is the previously untold story of the fight that inspired a hit and changed the American workplace.” (Source: PBS)
“The latest film from Oscar winners Julia Reichert and Steve Bognar (American Factory, DOC NY 2019) explores a pivotal but little-remembered intersection of women’s rights and labor rights. In the early 1970s, secretaries and other female office workers were underpaid, undervalued, unable to advance, and often subjected to sexual harassment. In the wake of the Women’s Liberation Movement, a group of women in Boston finally had enough, joining together to begin 9to5, a movement that would sweep the nation with irreverent, attention-getting actions to demand meaningful change - and later inspire the eponymous hit film and song.” (Source: DOCNYC)
