Library: Virtual ProgramsWhen Dolly Parton sang "9 to 5," she was doing more than just shining a light on the professional fate of American women. Parton was singing the autobiographical tale 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. Running time: 86 minutes, followed by discussion. We will email you login info ahead of time. Contact: Julie Tozer Contact Number: 856-225-6807 Status: Closed |
