9 to 5

Last night, in a fit of nostalgia, Margaret and I watched that Dolly Parton movie "9 to 5." It was crazy to see the workplace near the end of the major women's liberation movement. In the movie, the three women made all these "radical" changes to their workplace--like equal pay for equal work, on-site daycare, job sharing, etc. It's so great to see that in the quarter century since that movie came out, we've made such progress that now we're trying to tackle more current employment issues like equal pay for equal work, on-site daycare, job sharing, etc.
