Brazen Hussies
Directed by Catherine Dwyer
Brazen Hussies tells the story of the bold women who ignited a feminist revolution in Australia during the Women’s Liberation era of the 1960s and 70s. Grassroots activists defied the status quo, demanded equality, and fought for equal pay, reproductive rights, childcare, and the prevention of family violence and rape. ASIO spied on the movement, the male-dominated media pushed back, and there was tension over inclusion of lesbians and feminism's relevance to Aboriginal women. Amongst these struggles, a small group of determined women grew into a huge social movement - without this profound social change we wouldn’t be where we are now.
