What she said : conversations about equality
Renzetti, Elizabeth, author
2024
A passionate advocate for gender equity, and one of our most respected journalists, explores the most pressing issues facing women in Canada today with humour and heart. The fight for women's rights was supposed to have been settled. Or, to put it another way, women were supposed to have settled--for what we were grudgingly given, for the crumbs from the table that we had set. For thirty per cent of the seats in Canada's Parliament; for five per cent of the CEO's offices; for a tenth of the salary of male athletes; for the tiny per cent of sexual assault cases that result in convictions; for tenuous control over our health and bodies. "Aren't we over it yet? No, we're not," Elizabeth Renzetti writes. What She Said is a rallying cry for a more just future.
