The American treasure that is Dolly Parton wrote “9 to 5” as the theme song for the movie of the same name, in which she co-starred with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. The song topped the charts in 1980, tapping into women’s growing frustrations in the struggle for equality and the never-ending challenges of juggling work and life. The movie follows three women co-workers seeking vengeance on their lecherous boss for his constant sexual harassment. The song and the film took their titles from the non-profit organization 9to5, which advocated for fair pay and equal treatment for women in the workplace. We discuss how far -- or not --women have progressed since 1980, especially in pandemic conditions.
