| Summary Note |
"Set in 1973, 'The women who were never there' tells the dramatic true story of the young women who take on the industry denying them work. Facing entrenched discrimination, deadly conditions and a sceptical workforce, this determined group of women go to extraordinary lengths in the fight for their basic rights." -- Container. |
| “It's 1980 and the situation for working class women in the city of Wollongong is dire. Denied work at the steelworks, the city's major employer, women face either exploitation in backyard sweatshops, or having to make the pre-dawn trek to Sydney every day in the hope of finding work. When a local shop owner's cruel exploitation of the women's desperate situation is revealed, a spark is lit that begins a fire of rebellion - a battle for Jobs for Women. – Publisher website. |
