    Synopsis
    This is the Life describes the daily lives of single working women employed in industry in Australia in the 1940s. Young women are shown beginning the day in their homes, then cycling or taking a tram to the Returned Soldiers Mill in Geelong, Victoria - a thriving textile centre. We see them in the mill environment then, work done, enjoying their leisure - dancing, playing sport, hiking, shopping and going out with their boyfriends.
