  • AMELIA Or: Who Do Той Think Той Are? Documentary and Identity in Canadian Literature Stephen Scobie
    AMELIA or: Who Do Той Think Той Are? Documentary and Identity in Canadian Literature Stephen Scobie A,.LICE MUNRO'S TITLE Who Do You Think You Are? is one of those finely balanced phrases which subtly shift their meanings depending on which of the six words receives the major stress : Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are ? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are ? These various emphases transform the phrase from its pejorative use, to crush presumptuousness, into a serious question on the puzzle of identity. Is identity created by external, objective forces — what other people think you are — or by internal, subjective forces — what you yourself think you are? If you decide to alter your identity by thinking yourself into a new role, how do you go about making this new you manifest to the world? Such questions are pervasive in Munro's book, and they surface even at points where the attention might seem to be focused elsewhere. For instance, the story "Wild Swans" is principally about the bizarre and disturbing circumstances of Rose's sexual abuse by a strange man on a train ; yet the last page of the story is almost totally concerned with the puzzle of identity. The man has claimed to be a minister, but is not dressed as one : that is, his assertion of identity is not backed up by any external evidence. "Was he a minister, really," Rose wonders, "or was that only what he said? Flo had mentioned people who were not ministers, dressed up as if they were.

  • Sexual Harassment
    A Message to the People of California The Women's Rights Handbook has been prepared by the Office of the Attorney General as a summary of women's rights in important areas such as employment, economic independence, education, housing, health care, domestic relations, violent crimes and child care. It also provides other valuable information related to those rights. There is, for example, a section on crimes of violence against women and children, and where victims can get help. In recent years, largely as a result of hard work by countless individuals and organizations concerned with women's rights, courts and legislatures have taken many steps to strengthen guarantees of equal opportunity for women in our society. By the mid-1970s, the need was apparent for a concise reference work in this rapidly changing field. Accordingly, the first Women's Rights Handbook was published by the Attorney General's Office in 1976-77. The booklet was so well received that it was expanded by supplement in 1980, and reissued in revised form in 1983, 1987, and 1990. The 1998 edition of the Women's Rights Handbook, like its predecessors, contains the most current information on new laws and services that benefit women. While women will find this book of special interest, much of the information concerns laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age and disability, as well as sex. Therefore, it will be useful to all persons concerned about fair and equal treatment in employment, economic transactions, housing, business establishments, and other areas. Although a number of topics in this handbook are the subject of intense political debate, it is not our purpose here to take a position on them.
