IL Libraries Present: 9to5: The Story of a Movement, 2
Friday, March 21st at 2:00pm to Sunday, March 23rd at 11:59pm
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.
The recording can be viewed starting at 2pm, Friday, March 21 through 11:59, Sunday, March 23. Registrants will receive an email with a special link to the performance.
Registration will be limited to 3000 total.
