'9to5: The Story of a Movement'
1. Women's Work
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the phrase "nine to five"? Chances are it's Dolly Parton's 1980 hit song "9 to 5" or the movie of the same name starring Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda as overlooked and underpaid secretaries. In fact, "the movie was married to a movement," says Fonda in a trailer for the new Independent Lens documentary
9to5: The Story of a Movement. Vermont PBS presents an online viewing on Thursday, January 28, of this inspiring film about a push for equality led by a group of Boston office workers in the 1970s. A Q&A with film subject Janet Selcer and Vermont Commission on Women executive director Cary Brown follows.
