The
Harvey Girls Documentary is now available
on DVD
The Harvey
Girls - Opportunity Bound
The Harvey Girls: Opportunity
Bound is a new documentary film that explores
how starting in the 1880's, over 100,000
brave young women, Harvey Girls as they
were called, made an unusual decision to
leave home and travel west to work as waitresses
along the transcontinental railroad opening
the doors of both the West and the workplace
to women. In 1946, MGM turned the Harvey
Girls into legend when they released the
motion picture The Harvey Girls starring
Judy Garland. Until now, this fictional
Hollywood movie has been the only film to
immortalize the Harvey Girls. Opportunity
Bound examines this important part of America's
history in much greater depth, and tells
the story of the Harvey Girls using the
voices of those closest to them, including
rare interviews with the few remaining Harvey
Girls and author and expert on Fred Harvey,
Stephen Fried. In addition, the film explores
the life of Fred Harvey and his company
which left its mark by not only providing
work opportunities for women, but by being
among the first companies to promote cultural
diversity in the workplace by hiring Hispanic
and Native American women to be waitresses
along with their Anglo peers. The Harvey
Girls, whose workforce continued to flourish
until the 1960s, were true pioneers and
set a new standard of excellence for women
in the workplace, paving the way for generations
of independent young women to come. This
is their story! Click
