In the early 1970s, secretaries in Boston decided to fight against humiliating, harassing, and illegal work environments. Their movement became national and is a largely forgotten story of U.S. twentieth-century history. Director Julia Reichert was an Academy Award and Emmy Award winning documentarian.
