Today we're talking about a beloved top-grossing comedy film: "9 to 5" which was released in the 1980s. Starring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin, the movie not only was the film debut of Dolly Parton and introduced her Grammy Award-winning song by the same name but it also was inspired by true events of working women in Boston and Cleveland (primarily) who had started a movement in the '60s-'70s petitioning for better work environments for the women that made up 70% of the workforce at the time. We discuss the documentary on Netflix about the movement and union, the actual film itself and the process of writing and producing it, the beloved song by our country queen Dolly, and the impact it had on the future of female office workers.
