The Women's Room is a 1980 television film directed by Glenn Jordan and starring Lee Remick, Ted Danson, Colleen Dewhurst and Tovah Feldshuh. In spite of Esther Shapiro's struggle with the network to release the film despite its feminist content, "The Women's Room finally aired, and it received a huge 45 share, prompted a raft of positive mail, and won an Emmy".
