This thesis explores how the work of four English Canadian female playwrights reflected both in their groundbreaking early work. Aviva Ravel, Beverley Simons, Carol Bolt, and Sharon Pollock were each concerned with women's roles and changing conventional perceptions of women. This may in part explain why critics view the early work of these four playwrights as proto-feminist rather than feminist. All four playwrights, although they often disavowed a feminist intent, wrote plays that reflected the ideological tenets of second-wave Anglo-American feminism. However, their plays also often depict a decidedly vexed feminist vision. They critiqued restrictions imposed on women, while simultaneously arguing for the importance of women's empowered contribution to society, but often their message is obscured by ambiguous characterizations, structures, and conclusions. In this way, these playwrights asserted a feminist vision and challenged authority and stereotypical depictions of women on stage, while attempting to evade the antipathy of audiences and critics. The feminist reflections of these four female playwrights during the initial stages of the second-wave feminist movement in Canada provide a fascinating glimpse into how these writers were able to create a role for themselves in Canadian theatre against the backdrop of the women's liberation movement. They may have concealed their feminist sympathies to varying degrees; however, they nonetheless put women's concerns centre-stage and began an examination of identity politics and gender socialization, especially in relation to the notion of the performance of gender roles, that has continued for decades. 3 Acknowledgements I started the doctoral program at the University of Ottawa in September 2001. Over the past seven years my life has changed enormously, to the extent that I barely recognize the person I was when it all began. The many challenges of the past number of years have altered my life radically and, ultimately, positively. I have many people to thank for their help along the way. My supervisor, Professor Cynthia Sugars, has been a model of academic vigour and excellence as well as personal grace and insight. Her knowledge and expertise have consistently helped me hone my ideas and sharpen my focus and observations. She has provided me with an exceptional level of support, in terms of providing employment, helping me weather the challenges of the Ph.D. program, shoring up my sometimes (often?) flagging spirit, and offering kindness and understanding throughout a number of intensely personal trials. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. I also wish to express my appreciation to Professor Janice Fiamengo whom I assisted with the organization of the hugely successful symposium "The Animals in this Country." Her compassion and intellectual integrity taught me important lessons about honour in academia. Thanks to my brother, Peter, and to my many other friends and supporters including Atef Laouyene, Beverley Armitage, Sandra Banfield, Heather Duff, Barbara Francis, Tanya Glofcheskie, Jane Hadley, Josephine Kealey, Danielle Kingsley, Lisa Krueger, Angie McMurray, Amanda Mullen, Katie Munnik, Brie McMannus and Zack Euler, Heather Mitchell, Robyn Paton, Kathryn Prince, Angela Robbeson, Sandi Stoliar, and Susie Waldman. Diane Corcoran, our Graduate Administrator, deserves her own special mention for being so consistently helpful. I am grateful to playwrights Aviva Ravel and Sharon Pollock for generously meeting to talk about their work and to writer Muriel Gold, who also welcomed me into her home for an interview. I also took a playwriting course with Carol Bolt at Humber College many years ago, and I am thankful to have had the unique opportunity to have known her as a teacher. A special thank you to Appolonia Steele at the University of Calgary's Special Collections. Also thanks to JCC's Eiran Harris and Eddie Paul, and the staff at the National Library of Canada. Thanks to Larry MacDonald for access to his personal archives. My colleagues in the Association of Theatre Research have also been generous with their assistance, especially Gregory Reid. Jerry Wasserman, Sherrill Grace, and Cynthia Zimmerman have also offered helpful insights and encouragement. My late mother always believed in me and her financial bequeathal allowed me to focus on my studies in ways I would never have been able to do otherwise. My father has also been particularly helpful throughout this project offering me generous financial support and asserting his faith that I would eventually finish this project and venture out into the "real" world. I am most grateful for my daughter Annabelle, who anchors me in my real world by each day showing me the joy, depth, strength, and truth of love. More than any other role, it is motherhood that has transformed my soul and changed me for good, forever. 4 In loving memory of my mother, Anna Blanche Lawson/Tagliamonte, 1930 - 2002, and dedicated with love to my daughter, Annabelle Margaret McGrath, b. 2006. Introduction: Female Things "[F]eminist" and "feminism" refer first and foremost to a politics which developed out of consciousness raising and political activism and has only latterly, with the establishment of women's and gender studies within academia, been equated with a body of theory. Although it signifies an ideological movement and therefore a metanarrative, this movement has never had a single, clearly defined, common ideology or been constituted around a political party or central organisation or leaders or an agreed policy or manifesto, or even been based upon an agreed principle of collective action. As a result, feminism has always for the most part consisted of diverse

Although they live in separate countries - the province of Saskatchewan in Canada, and the country of Guatemala in Central America – they share a similar collective history of colonial violence, assimilation and oppression.

    A Living History (1973-1993): How the Experiences of Early Activists Shaped the Violence Against Women (VAW) Movement in Ontario: A Case Study by Deborah Ann Sinclair A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work University of Toronto © Copyright by Deborah Ann Sinclair 2019 A Living History (1973-1993): How the Experiences of Early Activists Shaped the Violence Against Women (VAW) Movement in Ontario: A Case Study Deborah Ann Sinclair Doctor of Philosophy Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation shines a light on a group of women who helped to create a violence against women (VAW) movement that changed the course of history in Ontario, Canada for countless women, their families and their communities. This study centres the voices of activists, positioning them as knowledge producers with expertise and wisdom gleaned during five decades of work in the VAW movement in Ontario. A feminist analysis of the VAW movement begins from the standpoint of women. In particular, an intersectional feminist analysis begins from the standpoint of diverse women who embrace the tenets of critical feminist standpoint theory. This study draws on social movement theory (SMT) literature, particularly the scholarship of feminist SMT researchers, to examine the state of the VAW movement in Ontario, Canada. This dissertation is a story about a social movement, specifically the VAW movement in Ontario—a strand of the women’s liberation movement frequently referred to as the second wave, but also on the cusp of ushering in third wave feminism.

I’ve got a certain kind of magazine. It’s not Ms. It’s not Branching Out. It’s not Status of Women News. Doris Anderson Rough Layout hen Edmonton-based Branching Out: Canadian Magazine for WWomen (1973 to 1980) began its thirty-one-issue, seven-year history, Doris Anderson was the most prominent figure in women’s magazine publishing in Canada. Indeed, her work as a journalist, editor, novelist, and women’s rights activist made Anderson one of the most well-known faces of the Canadian women’s movement. She chaired the Canadian Advisory Coun- cil on the Status of Women from 1979 to 1981 and was the president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women from 1982 to 1984, but she is best known as the long-time editor of Chatelaine, Can- ada’s longest lived mainstream women’s magazine, which celebrated its eightieth anniversary in 2008. As Chatelaine’s editor from 1957 to 1977, she was at the forefront of the Canadian women’s movement, publishing articles and editorials on a wide range of feminist issues, including legal- izing abortion, birth control, divorce laws, violence against women, and ESC 36.2–3 (June/September 2010): 63–90 women in politics. When Anderson passed away in 2007, then Governor- General Adrienne Clarkson declared that “Doris was terribly important as a second-wave feminist because she had the magazine for women and Tessa Jordan (ba it was always thoughtful and always had interesting things in it” (quoted Victoria, ma Alberta) in Martin).

  • The Score Press Kit FINAL Apr27
    presents Running Time: 83:22 minutes Genre: Dramatic Musical Format: High Definition PRESS KIT For Sales Information Contact: World Sales IndieCan Entertainment Avi Federgreen 194 Glenholme Avenue Toronto, ON M6E 3C4 T: 416.898.3456 E: info@indiecanent/com SHORT SYNOPSIS A groundbreaking musical drama about a scientist whose own genetic history threatens her career, her lab and her life. “Are you ready to kick the ass genomic?” Dr. Lynn Magnusson is a brilliant geneticist racing to isolate a cancer-causing gene. All that’s standing in her way is competition from a well funded French lab, a ticking biological clock that leads to a risky office romance, and her own fears that she might carry the same Huntington’s gene that killed her mother. Based on the award-winning play by Electric Company Theatre, The Score explores the human elements and revolutionary implications of the rapidly advancing world of genetics and uses humour, music and dance to transform scientific ideas into universal themes of identity, freedom and creation. SYNOPSIS The Score tells the story of Dr. Lynn Magnusson, a woman at the helm of a cutting-edge but under-funded lab that is racing towards a significant discovery of genetics-based cancer research. In order to beat the odds at being the first to discover an elusive cancer trigger and maintain her funding, she contemplates sharing research and resources with a lab in Paris, headed by JP Martineau. Meanwhile she is being courted by Ameritech Pharmaceuticals, a multinational company that may be the answer to her lab’s financial woes.

    1 Women’s Studies Program Women’s Studies – Law and Feminism in Canada WST 420 HC 2-38/M 14:00-16:50 Professor Lise Gotell Office: 1-02e Assiniboia Hours: Mon 10:30-12 [or by appt.] Ph: 492-0326 email: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________ “Policy about course outlines can be found in s.24.3 of the University Calendar.” (GFC 29 SEP 2003). Course Description: Law has been a powerful force in the construction of women’s subordination. It has also been a site of feminist struggle. This course considers the implications of the Charter for feminist legal struggles. Through the course, the students will gain knowledge of key Charter cases and of the role of legal strategy in an era of neoliberal governance. The experiences of racialized women, poor women and sexual minorities will be highlighted to demonstrate the problems of essentialism in feminist legal theory and strategy. The course builds upon the rich insights offered by feminist cross-disciplinary legal scholarship, highlighting how the law constructs and regulates women’s bodies and sexualities, how the law has silenced and/or appropriated feminist discourse and how the rhetoric of rights is both empowering and problematic for feminist politics. The first part of the course will explore contending feminist theoretical analyses of law. Next we will examine the potentials and perils of feminist legal strategies, focusing on Charter equality litigation and neoliberalism. The final part of the course will emphasize the role of legal discourse in constructing gendered and racialized identities through discussions of the legal regulation of reproduction, of coercive sexuality, of prostitution and of compulsory heterosexuality.

  • Péter Szaffkó Central European Theatre and The
    PÉTER SZAFFKÓ CENTRAL EUROPEAN THEATRE AND THE CANADIAN THEATRE REVIEW: THE FIRST DECADE 1. Introduction The history of the Canadian theatre goes back to 1606 when the first theatrical performance was presented on the shores of Port Royal to celebrate the return of the Governor from his trip. Nevertheless, professional theatre in Canada has a relatively short history; in fact, less than half a century. With some exaggeration, I might also say that theatre criticism in Canada has existed ever since the regular publication of local and national newspapers. The story of this fascinating genre is very well illustrated and commented upon in Establishing Our Boundaries published in 1999. Theatre journals, however, emerged only in the 1960s when various experts—directors, historians, dramaturgs, critics and scholars—wanted to express their views on the state of affairs as well as the development of the theatre arts in Canada. Although the difference between day-to-day criticism of individual performances and a more academic approach to the art of the theatre in any culture may seem evident, it is worth quoting Herbert Whittaker, one of the doyens of Canadian theatre criticism, who was the first national chairman of the Canadian Theatre Critics Association and worked for the Globe and Mail for more than thirty years. Concerning the history of Canadian theatre criticism, he wrote that The academic critic is allowed a more historical perspective, watching for the trends taken by [the current theatrical] expression. While the daily working critic feels part of the daily creativity, clinging precariously to his objectivity, the periodical critics must look for overall 171 developments, making note of similar trends in time and place.

  • Sex Radicalism, Radical Feminism and Prostituion Law Reform in Canada
    FINDING MIDDLE GROUND: SEX RADICALISM, RADICAL FEMINISM AND PROSTITUION LAW REFORM IN CANADA By Sarah C. Brush An essay submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April 2012 Copyright ©Sarah C. Brush, 2012 ABSTRACT In March of 2012, the Ontario Court of Appeal struck down two provisions of Canada‟s prostitution laws—those that prohibit common bawdy houses and living off the avails of prostitution. The political and legal debate leading up to the contentious decision reflects the longstanding battle between sex radical and radical feminists. This essay will situate the current debate within the context of historical feminist campaigns for law reform and demonstrate the ways in which sex radical and radical feminist arguments were utilized in Bedford v. Canada 2010, and the subsequent appeal. The essay will conclude by considering the implications of repealing the provisions that prohibit bawdy houses and living off the avails, and by assessing the possibility of combining sex radical and radical feminist aims at eliminating the harm experienced by women involved in prostitution. ii ACKNOWELDGEMENTS I would like to thank the Department of Sociology at Queen‟s University for allowing me the opportunity to learn from the best and to reach my academic goals. I would also like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Laureen Snider. I have benefitted immensely from your support and guidance; your encouragement and dedication to my success are what made this project possible. Thank you to my closest friends, Christine and Alicia, as well as my siblings, Leah, Connor and Katherine.
