The Feminist Club presents: Brazen Hussies

September 11th, 2023 | Events

Join us for an evening of empowerment and celebration at the AWARE Centre. We will be screening Brazen Hussies and hosting Dr Barbara Baird, an Australian feminist activist and scholar of gender and sexuality studies at Flinders University!

About the movie:

From the radical arm of the ‘Women’s Libbers’ to the reform-focused groups such as the Women’s Electoral Lobby, Brazen Hussies shows the diversity of women involved, and the collective power it took to achieve change. The film explores how ASIO spied on the movement, the pushback by the male-dominated media, and the impact of internal struggles within the movement. These struggles are laid bare to show how the activities of a small group of determined women grew into a huge social movement and ultimately changed the lives and opportunities of ALL women.

Get ready to be inspired by powerful women who have fearlessly challenged the status quo. After the movie screening, stay for a discussion with Barbara, where we will delve into a variety of topics, from intersectional feminism to gender equality, through engaging and thought-provoking conversations.

Refreshments will be provided.
