Journey Among Women

Journey Among Women is a 1977 film directed by Tom Cowan.

Months past, and Emily is raped and killed by two men. Elizabeth leads the other convicts in a revenge attack against the men. Captain McEwan leads an attack on the women, in which he is killed. Elizabeth returns to her old life.I was living in the bush, in Berowra Waters, and it was so powerful. I happened to read this French sciencefiction story called Les Guerrieres about a future society of women like an Amazon society who were at war with the rest of society. Somehow in the combination of the wildness and strangeness and beauty of the bush and this story of wild women, I saw a parallel in how we perceived the bush and how the British first saw the bush as ugly. Well, we now see it as beautiful. And how the sort of excesses of radical feminism, when it began, were seen as ugly ranting and raving and being abusive and so on. But, in fact, behind it were very beautiful things not just the women, but the humanist ideas. ........
