She Works Hard for the Money is the eleventh studio album by American singer Donna Summer, released on June 13, 1983, by Mercury Records.
It was her most successful studio album of the decade, peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and its title track became one of the biggest hits of her career and her biggest hit of the decade, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The sleeve of the single and album pictured Summer as a waitress who "works hard for the money" and the song was a tribute to "the working woman".
The reverse side of the album also features Onetta Johnson, a bathroom attendant who worked at the iconic Los Angeles restaurant Chasen's whom Summer had encountered in the ladies' room and was the inspiration for the song itself.
It was accompanied by a high-profile music video which became heavily promoted on MTV, soon after the breakthrough of Michael Jackson's success on the channel, leading the way for other black artists to be played.
