About
Her War: The Untold Story of Australia’s Women in WWII
As World War II rages and the Japanese threat looms ever closer to Australia’s shores, the nation’s men are fighting on the European front. Left behind, the women have only one option—fight like a girl.
Based on true events, Her War is a gripping ten-episode screenplay that unveils the forgotten role of Australian women in WWII. While some served in the Australian Women’s Army Service, thousands more enlisted in the Australian Women’s Land Army, the unsung fourth branch of the military. Underpaid, overworked, and unrecognized, they fought not just against wartime hardship but against deep-seated misogyny.
From the home front to the Pacific theater, follow Maureen, Ethel, Joyce, and Franny as they battle for their country’s survival and their own independence. Set across Australia and Papua New Guinea, this powerful historical drama captures the resilience, courage, and sacrifice of the women who changed the course of Australian history.
For fans of WWII historical fiction, military history, and feminist wartime stories, Her War is an unmissable epic of survival and heroism.
