Dolly Parton's '9 to 5' Anthem's True Story Revisited by NPR
NPR's Planet Money has revisited the true story behind Dolly Parton's iconic song and movie, '9 to 5.' The episode delves into the origins of the anthem, highlighting its connection to a women's labor organization formed in Boston in 1973, also called '9to5.' This group of secretaries advocated for better working conditions and fair treatment for women in clerical roles during a period of significant workplace change between the 1960s and 1980s. The song and film captured the spirit of this movement, resonating with many who felt the lyrics reflected the realities of their working lives. The original episode, produced by Nick Fountain and James Sneed and edited by Mitra Kaboli, was updated by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler and engineered by Jimmy Keeley, with Alex Goldmark as Planet Money’s executive producer.
