In this chapter, Ashe describes the events of Day Four of Halifax’s 1970 "Encounter on Urban Environment," focusing on claims that the event excluded women’s perspectives. Structural barriers were preventing women from advancing into professional roles within established institutions. He highlights the critique offered by Muriel Duckworth, president of the local Voice of Women.
