The story of women’s struggles and victories in the pursuit of the vote is not just a matter of the past: it informs current debates about the health of democracy in Canada and rights for all citizens.
Join authors Tarah Brookfield, Lara Campbell, Sarah Carter, Joan Sangster, and Heidi MacDonald, contributors to the series Women’s Suffrage and the Struggle for Democracy, for a fireside chat as they discuss how this series contributes to a deeper understanding of Canadian society and politics, and serves as a well-timed reminder never to take political rights for granted.
A reception and book signing will follow at the UBC Press booth in the Rotunda.
