This comes very close to being 3/3, but I think it technically only manages 1/3. It has two named woman characters: Dr. Zira and Dr. Branton. Dr. Zira has conversations with other women, but they are all unnamed. The only times that the two named women talk to eachother is part of larger group conversations. During those group conversations, there are times when one woman asks a question to the group and the other woman replies to her, but I can't find any parts where one woman directly addresses the other and get a direct reply.
