She's not talking about people who won't sell out. She's talking about older women working..."twilight years." This song was written at a time when not so many women were working full-time. They were stay-at-home mothers...at least they were supposed to be. Latch key kids was a rather new concept and it was frowned upon. Working women were seen as shifty for not being home where they were needed. Donna Summer's song is a type of feminist anthem...telling people to respect the working woman because she's earned their respect. BAD GIRLS is about prostitution, but this song is not. Trust me on this....nobody knows this album better than I ('cause I"m OLD:)
Even though this post is from awhile back, I wanted to share what I heard Donna Summer say in an interview about this song. It's actually about a restroom attendant in a restaurant she went to. She really felt for the woman when she saw her and interpreted, in this song, what she imagined the lady's life was like.
