For those who would like to know a bit of women’s history in preparation for International Women’s Day celebrations, I recommend Runaway Wives and Rogue Feminists by Margo Goodhand. It’s our uniquely Canadian story about women taking action to keep each other safe. The sections about women in BC will have some recognizable names for many readers. They are all around us, these women who did what needed to be done, usually without funding, protection, or approval. Read this story about some of them and be proud of your sisters, as I am.
