One Hundred Years of Struggle
The History of Women and the Vote in Canada
What an insightful discussion with historian Joan Sangster about her new book, One Hundred Years of Struggle: The History of Women and the Vote in Canada. May 24th marked the first 100 years of women’s right to vote federally in Canada. Very interesting to note the polarization and at times coalitions between various ideology within the movement. Thanks to their collective efforts, today, much has changed but in many ways there are other points that remain the same, namely; the struggle for equality included gains and losses, and inclusions and exclusions, depending of a woman’s race, class and location. A must read for your book list.

With a feminist agenda, my creative works captured the imaginations of readers and viewers as I travelled pursuing an artistic career promoting body positivity, natural beauty and the sovereignty of women's bodies through art and photography. I am no longer employed in those fields of work. Having spent almost a decade building my profile in the cultural sector as a public figure, I took some personal time off while handling family obligations. Using the sum of my experience I am now devoted full-time to my writings, social activism, and politics building upon a new definition of 'modern humanism' as seen through the lens of feminism.
