Introduction

The concept of 9 to 5 originated from Jane Fonda's own experiences with sexism and inequality in the workplace, which she discussed with Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton during the filming of The China Syndrome with Jack Lemmon and Michael Douglas. The film's narrative follows three working women, Judy Bernly (played by Jane Fonda), Violet Newstead (played by Lily Tomlin), and Doralee Rhodes (played by Dolly Parton), as they navigate the challenges of their jobs at a large corporation, Consolidated Companies, led by the sexist and demanding Frank Hart (played by Dabney Coleman). The movie's portrayal of women in the workplace was influenced by the Women's Liberation Movement, with Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan being prominent figures.
