Feminism, Women’s Studies and the Women’s Movement in Canada: Two Canadian Perspectives

Marilyn Porter and Caroline Andrew

Chapter 12 in A Journey into Women’s Studies, 2014, pp 212-228 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Both of us have long histories in both women’s studies and the feminist movement, and we felt that trying to answer too many questions would make our contribution superficial and without value. Instead we selected few starting points. So in the following piece we try to focus less on what we have done and more on what our thinking has been, and how that thinking has changed over time. Because one of us (MP) is an immigrant to Canada, we took the opportunity to compare what was happening in Britain and Canada at the same time.
