About the film

Described as a \"raucous\, informative and joyous account of a crucial decade in th e struggle for equal rights\"\, \;B razen Hussies \;celebrates the social activism and the gr ass-roots nature of the women&rsquo\;s liberation movement.

The do cumentary shows us how a daring and diverse group of women joined forces t o defy the status quo\, demand equality and create profound social change - contributing to one of the greatest social movements of the 20th Century .

It shows how women coordinated 'conscious raising' around issues such as equal pay\, reproductive rights\, affordable childcare\, and the prevention of family violence. As the story unfolds\, these issues go from being dismissed as the outrageous demands of a few &ldquo\;brazen hussies &rsquo\;&rsquo\; to becoming crucial elements on the platforms of Australi a&rsquo\;s major political parties.
