"Maggie's journey tells the story of 25 year old Maggie Kelly who was one of a group of young female domestic servants who in 1900 emigrated to W.A. on a "bride ship"."
This documentary film tells the stories of 16 [17 mentioned on film] women who served in the Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC) and Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps (RAANC) from 1953 and 1976, and went on to serve
from anything between two and twenty-four years. Few people outside or even inside the military know much about the women's corps in the Army, so this DVD provides an especially valuable record. The personal histories recounted here offer a rich and important historical source that can describe things in a way that other documents cannot. It is a wonderful record of what it was like to serve in the WRAAC and RAANC from the 1950s to the 1970s and beyond, and of what happened to the former soldiers once they left military service.
