I was honoured to have been asked to have my books available at two International Women's Day events. CFUW/Kanata (www.cfuwkanata.ca) held a breakfast for IWD at Wild Wood Steak & Chophouse in Amberwood on Saturday, March 5th. Constance Backhouse (member of the Order of Canada) gave a dynamic talk about the second wave of the History of Feminism in Canada (1960-2010).
On Thursday, March 10th, CFUW/Ottawa (www.cfuw-ottawa.org) highlighted a century of Women's Progress with Dr. Pamela Walker (joint chair in Women's Studies, Carleton & Ottawa Universities), Amanda Cottreau (Singer/songwriter) and Dr. Caroline andrew (Director, Centre on Governance, University of Ottawa).
It is gratifying to know that significant gains have been made by women since they taught in one-room schoolhouses. Women are paid the same as men with the same qualifications (not the case before) and have the same benefits. There are more women who are in upper management positions including principals, superintendents and directors of school boards.
