Take It Like a Man, Ma'am!
1975, Danish. Directed by Elisabeth Rygaard & Li Vilstrup & Mette Knudsen.
A middle aged married woman suffers from depression. Her husband suggests she get a dog, but instead she gets a job. Treatment of the women workers leads her into a hilarious fantasy in which roles are reversed and bearded men sit behind typewriters worrying about their looks and what to buy for dinner. She gets involved in a strike and loses her job, but has found some friends and a more positive attitude to life.
