Description
Summary:A series of seven five-minute shorts directed by women, made to celebrate Australia’s Bicentenary in 1988, depicting Australian women’s achievements and contributions to the social and welfare development of our country. The programs look at the sombre history of Aboriginal women since European colonisation through dance, voice and photographs. The previously unsung praises of women who pioneered the outback are orchestrated, and the stories of those who worked for war and peace are told. Women reminisce about fashion. The management skills and versatility of the housewife are saluted. The adventurers, and those who have accomplished achievements in science and technology are recognised.
