Reel Justice: Brazen Hussies

Brazen Hussies tells the story of the Women’s Liberation Movement in Australia from the late 1960s through to the mid-1970s. The film highlights the bold actions, debates, and determination of women who campaigned for change on issues like equal pay, reproductive rights, access to childcare, and protection from violence.

Through interviews, archival footage, and first-hand accounts, the documentary shows both the energy of grassroots organising and the challenges the movement faced — from internal disagreements to political and media backlash.

This is an important film for anyone interested in how feminist activism reshaped Australian society, and in what those struggles can teach us about the unfinished work of gender justice today.
