Following screenings at both the Brisbane International Film Festival[1] and the Adelaide Film Festival,[2] Brazen Hussies was released publicly on 7 November 2020.[3]
Brazen Hussies was nominated for the best documentary award at the 10th AACTA Awards.[4]

In a review in The Guardian, Kath Kenny wrote: "Dwyer has uncovered terrific archival footage and photos to complement contemporary interviews".[6] Sally Breen, a senior lecturer at Griffith University, writing for The Conversation, says that the film is: "A celebration of how far we’ve come and a warning of just how easily everything these women fought for could be lost."[7]
