She’s remembered as a legendary singer-songwriter, country superstar, LGBQT icon and champion for kids literacy, but she was also very important in telling the stories of working class women. In the comedy 9 to 5, with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, Dolly centered women working in offices (often treated as objects and second class citizens) into subversive underdogs.</p><p>The part that few people know is that movie was inspired by a real life movement of women workers who challenged these power dynamics in the corporate offices. </p><p>In a special Labor Day episode, we talk with Karen Nussbaum, co-founder of the labor-feminist organization 9to5, which inspired the movie and song by Dolly Parton, about the movement to organize clerical workers. </p><p>Guest Bio// </p><p>Karen Nussbaum was a cofounder of the pioneering labor-feminist organization 9to5. She is a member of the board of Working America which has 3.5 million members. She writes on women, labor, politics and culture.</p><p>-----------------------------🎵 Outro</p><p>**&quot;Green and Red Blues&quot; by Moody**</p><p>### 🔗 Links</p><p>🌐 **Dolly Parton’s Fight for Working Women** https://bit.ly/3UYFFAd</p><p><br></p><p>🌐 Karen&#39;s website: https://www.karennussbaum.com/ </p><p>### 💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast</p><p>🎉 **Become a Patron:**https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast</p><p>☕ **Make a One-Time Donation:**https://bit.ly/DonateGandR</p><p>### 🎙️ Follow Green and Red</p><p>🔗 **Linktree:**</p><p>https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 **Website: **https://greenandredpodcast.org</p><p>### 🌍 Our Networks🎧 **Labor Podcast Network:**https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 **Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network:**https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 **Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans:**https://wamf.org✊ **Worker Power Radio:**https://workerpowerradio.ismyradio.com/</p><p>### 🎬 Production</p><p>A **Green and Red Podcast** production.</p><p>👨‍🏫 **Produced by:** Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)</p><p>✂️ **Edited by:** Scott</p><p>🔔 **Subscribe for more analysis of U.S. politics, leftist strategy, labor, environmental issues, and anti-establishment resistance.**</p><p><br></p>
