White Supremacy and the First Feminist Waves in Canada

From: Take Back the Fight

$1.80

In the first chapter, the author narrates the history of the first feminist movement in Canada until the collapse of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women. She focuses on the whiteness of the first wave of feminism in general. This led to a new wave of feminism, driven by decriminalization of abortion, that discussed the intersections of oppressive systems such as capitalism and colonialism.
