WOMEN OF STEEL - Screening and Panel
When: Thursday 10 July
Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm 
Where: Gala Cinema, Warrawong

You're invited to a special screening of the documentary Women of Steel, followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker Robynne Murphy and some of the incredible women featured in the film. 

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the Tent Embassy outside the Steelworks, when the campaign for Jobs for Women began. The screening will be followed by a brief panel discussion featuring the film's director Robynne Murphy and original Women of Steel featured in the film. This is a chance to reflect on the historic fight and its lasting impact on gender equality and workers' rights.

Women of Steel tells the inspiring story of a 14-year battle by women for the right to work in Wollongong’s steel industry. This event is a chance to hear firsthand from trailblazers who stood up for justice and equality - and won.

This is more than just a film - it's a real-life story of courage, activism, and the power of community. Whether you're studying history, social justice, gender studies, or just want to be inspired, this event is not to be missed.
