Women sewing military uniforms in Brisbane

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  In the early 1940s a number of factories opened, staffed mainly by women. These included a munitions factory at Rocklea and 12 textile factories in Brisbane. At one textile factory in Roma Street an incredible 19,000 garments were produced each week by only 200 women. Their work was gruelling, poorly paid and it demanded long hours.
