The Women Who Were Never There
1973. Women chained to factory gates. A tragic death. Rebellious youth. Standing up to discrimination.
A powerful dramatisation of real events, The Women Who Were Never There depicts the lengths that a group of determined women will go to get work in a male-only industry.
Taking on the most powerful corporation in town, the women's creative actions not only shake management, but lay the basis for changes for women across the country.
