It seems from what I have read that no-one asked any of the women either present or in positions of prominence (even in 1989 Montreal had female elected representatives) what they thought about it, and there are members of women's groups then active in Canada who still today are angry that their voices and opinions were not of interest to the media. If it had been a racist or homophobic killing, it is suggested, it would not have been silenced in the way that it appears to have been. I suspect that this outrage may have helped to inspire Canadian writer Margaret Atwood's book The Handmaid's Tale. But I haven't checked and could be wrong especially in terms of dates.janestheonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617250693471034197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932765464128103640.post-19077525119635188942009-12-13T21:16:48.995+01:002009-12-13T21:16:48.995+01:00I'm a bit puzzled.

Changing the subject, I like your new picture. Is there a message board on top of that pole or are you pole-dancing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932765464128103640.post-57191634785515464682009-12-13T20:55:21.199+01:002009-12-13T20:55:21.199+01:00Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

My late wife was a Civil Engineer in Reading, and I used to go to dinners and social functions organised by the Womens Engineering Society - I am genuinely surprised that I had not heard about this before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
