Canadian Women’s Issues
Volume II: Bold Visions
by Ruth Roach Pierson and Marjorie Griffin Cohen
The second volume of a two-volume set which focuses on women's activism during the past 25 years.
In this second volume of a two-volume set, Ruth Roach Pierson and Marjorie Griffin Cohen focus on five issues that have been central to women's activism during the past 25 years.
The book comprises a series of essays divided thematically--the domestic sphere, paid work, education and training, economic policy, global issues--followed by illustrative historical documents. Photographs and other visual materials complement the essays, and an extensive bibliography surveys further reading.

Reviews
"Currently the best source available on the history of the women's movement in English Canada, the two volumes in this series are balanced, hard-hitting, and often fun to read. They will not soon be superseded."
