BRAZEN HUSSIES shows us how a daring and diverse group of women joined forces to defy the status quo, demand equality and create profound social change - contributing to one of the greatest social movements of the 20th Century. The film interweaves freshly uncovered archival footage, personal photographs, memorabilia and lively accounts from the bold women who reignited the feminist movement in Australia, at times at great personal cost.

Brazen Hussies speaks to the then as much as the now, drawing a line between the power of women uniting under the banner of a shared cause to fight for their basic human rights.

"We can change the world - because we have," they said. They certainly did, and aren't we all the better for it? This terrific documentary is a celebration of those achievements.

Concrete Playground

An engaging, informative and impassioned snapshot of a reality that's still so recent, and of the hard work that was required to even reach the current imperfect status quo.

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
