Forty years ago, Wollongong's Jobs for Women Campaign, with director Robynne Murphy among its leaders, took on Australia's most powerful company BHP – and won. But when the 1980s steel slump devastated the city's economy, the women were forced into the courtroom. Their struggle plays out against a background of societal changes: from anti-discrimination legislation, to the shifting roles of women in the home and workforce (particularly complex in Wollongong's migrant, non-English speaking households). This fascinating account of the largely forgotten history of Australia's Steel City was crafted over decades with support from local community volunteers and over 500 donors.
