9TO5: THE STORY OF A MOVEMENT Feature Films Women and the Vote

9TO5:

Virtual World Premiere

Following the film, watch a recorded discussion with directors Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar with NBC News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell.

Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar’s film follows a group of secretaries in the 1970s fighting against lack of acknowledgment, demeaning tasks, low pay and all kinds of harassment in the workplace. From humble beginnings in a small office in a Boston YWCA to a nationwide movement so energized it inspired the iconic song and film, the organization’s rise was no easy undertaking. To achieve some justice, they employed clever tactics and took advantage of hidden talents wasted in the office. While gender parity has yet to be fully realized in the workplace, we would be nowhere as close without these women.
–Eric Moore
