The Rising of the Women

New!

From: Still Hopeful

In Chapter Two Barlow reflects on the three interrelated but distinct stages of her own social justice journey from first working within the women’s movement with Canada, the international fight against economic globalization, and the human right to water and sanitation. The chapter explores Barlow’s own experience growing up female, her early work in activism and experiences, the impact of the women’s right movement, globalization, and the effects of corporate interests in politics. It includes an excerpt from Ellen Gabriel.
