      Audience Member Everyone should see this movie. Compelling, emotional and energising documentary about women in cultural context of 1950-1970's Australia. I took my daughter to see it and she laughed out loud at some of the moments. As a child of the 1970s, it was fascinating to watch through the filter of my young memories of the same events. Go take a friend to see it. I loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
