What a great story showing the power of women to take care of their families and give encouragement for the future even in light of one of the most repressing regimes. The amazing thing is not only did "The Dressmaker" find a way to care for her immediate and extended family, she passed along skills and learning to her community for others to at least be able to purchase basic necessities and hope for the day when things changed.
