About Take It Like a Man, Ma'am!
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.
Directed by Mette Knudsen, Elisabeth Rygaard, Li Vilstrup, Take It Like a Man, Ma'am! leans on a strong ensemble — Tove Maës, Berthe Qvistgaard, Birgit Brüel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1975.
