You go girls! It's dignity and appreciation - the equal pay is waaay down the road, but don't give up.

I don't envy them but I am glad to see that if that's what their heart's desire for their vocation is... they are getting to do it!

Women of the Rock

The inspiring story of the first generation of South African women to become underground miners. It's an intimate portrait of not just a group of women who believe they can do anything, but also of what was once a hermetic world in a state of post-apartheid transformation.
