Two named women (sisters, Juanita and Delilah) speak to each other briefly when their mom (who is named Bertha and briefly yells at Delilah off-screen) arrives home after work. This is the only scene of women (sisters!) speaking to each other which is dubious, in my opinion.

Sidenote: Delilah (a feminist and member of the Black Panther Party) turns out to be an important supporting female character among the supporting male characters.
