The beef in on the grill and mysogony is the flame that burns it on this episode. Jamie programmed three films about ladies in the workplace in peril. Sally Field battles union rights and her cotton mill overlords in Norma Rae, Meryl Streep fights her nuclear overlords poorly in Silkwood and Charlize Theron fights piggish men and of course black lung from her coal mine overlords in North Country.
