About women in the workplace:

 

9 to 5

Norma Rae

Working Girl

His Girl Friday

 

These are all wonderful suggestions none of which I have viewed yet. I'll be watching Norma Rae. Thank you all for posting! I'm currently unemployed and 5 mos pregnant (unspportive work environment, decided to quit). I've been waking up at odd hours, I find myself with lots of free time. These movies help to put fire under my pot to get back into the workplace and be a strong independent female leader.

 

Love the literary suggestions as well! I'm sad to hear they didn't make it to the big screen, defiantly will try the books out!

 

If anyone has any good pregnancy or parenting movies I'd love to hear some suggestions! I watched the business of being born pretty much bawled my eyes out the entire time.

 

Thank you again to

Suffragette is an awesome movie -- be advised it is about the women's suffrage movement in the U.K., though, not the U.S.  Still, very well done.  Just in case you were looking for movies about U.S. history, in particular.

I'd love to hear about women's rights all over the world  :thumbup:

 

Carol in Cal. Marry Poppins has been a long time favorite! I even dressed as her for Halloween recently  :001_smile:

I'm looking for more movies about women advancing in the workplace. Preferably historic films with real life ties like Hidden Figures, or movies with women in lead roles.

 

I just finished watching Hidden Figures and I need more films like this in my library. I also loved Good Girls in Revolt an Amazon tv series about women changing the workplace in the press industry in early '70s late '60s, GGR was written by Lynn Povich and based on true events. 

 

Thank you for your help, looking forward to viewing your suggestions!  :)

[Movies like "Hidden Figures?"]

What about movies highlighting women's suffrage in the workplace?

I loved Good Girls Revolt sad to see amazon did not chose to renew it for a second season.. Hidden Figures has a strikingly similar tone.
