Movies about a woman advancing or being accepted in the workplace, or forming a union! No TV shows or TV movies. This day grew from women's socialist movements and early women's trade union groups. The first International Women's Day was held March 19, 1911.

1. Norma Rae (1979)

Not sure if the OP writes closed or the final poster?

[–] PaladinNJ (21786) 4 years ago

Normally the OP (Monstar) would acknowledge completion, then you get to start the next one.

[–] spacecomedy (2062) 4 years ago

Thanks for the explanation. I'll remove "Closed" and wait until the OP gives the green light to proceed.

🏆 👍 👏 🎃 🎅 spacecomedy can create the next Baker's Dozen. The creator of the Original Post is the only one who can Edit it and Add Closed. Everyone can then see that the thread is done, and look for the new one.

You don't really need to wait to start the next thread, if you made the 13th post. It's really to see if it's a valid entry.) The OP often cannot log in for several hours. No need to make everyone else wait.

This Baker's Dozen lends itself to a Part II sometimes. There are many more working women films.

Thanks, MonStar! I have a theme connected to today's date that I hope others will enjoy.
