Synopsis:

Presented by award-winning historian Dr Clare Wright (The Einstein Factor), UTOPIA GIRLS tells the fascinating, little known story of how Australian women became the first in the world to gain full political rights. This not-to-be-missed documentary follows the lives of five remarkable and unique women (Caroline Dexter, Henrietta Dugdale, Louisa Lawson, Mary Lee and Vida Goldstein). With their comrades, they would carry the flag over half a century until a newly federated Australia could claim its title as a uniquely democratic nation. Their tireless and sometimes thankless work would take them from the poorest slums to the seats of power in the fledgling nation.
