Feminist History Society!

Hello all,

As it is Women's History Month there could not be a better time to promote the new Feminist History Society!!  This wonderful group is on a mission to preserve the "second wave" of the feminist movement (roughly 1960-2010) through the publication of books.  Their first book has been published:  Feminist Journeys.  It is a wonderful collection of mini-memoirs of women about the amazing period in Canadian History.  And BPW members, we are featured in the second full two-page spread picture in the book!  Elsie Gregory MacGill and Nazla Dane meeting with the Prime Minister, and I challenge you to join and get this book and figure out who the other women are! 

For more information on this truly exiciting initive see:
