PBS | Air Date: February 1, 2021
Summary: When Dolly Parton sang "9 to 5," she 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.
