The Working Girls is a 1974 sexploitation film written and directed by Stephanie Rothman and starring Sarah Kennedy, Laurie Rose and Cassandra Peterson.[3][4]

It is about three women sharing an apartment in Los Angeles - Honey, Jill and Denise - who are all endangered by the men in their lives.

The film was Rothman's last as a director. She and her husband, Charles Swartz, left Dimension Pictures after making it and she was unable to find other directing work.

The film has attracted academic interest because of its feminist themes.[5] Rothman said "I think it’s my most mature work. It was my last and I think it’s my most mature."[2]
