Wollongong, New South Wales,1980: Denied jobs at the steelworks, the city's main employer, working class and immigrant women refused to accept discrimination. They began a 14-year campaign for the right to work, a campaign that pitted them against BHP, the richest and most powerful company in Australia. In WOMEN OF STEEL, they tell their personal stories – from the unemployment line to the factory gate to the High Court. This is an exciting, inspiring, and often humorous story of a group of seemingly ordinary women, determined to overcome a giant - and a history lesson in a multi-year campaign against discrimination.

WHAT WE LOVE:

"A lesson in how to bring about lasting change - a group of determined, intelligent women sticking up for their rights." "Wonderful look at the 1980s Australia!"
