AN OLD BUTTON HAS reappeared recently among young feminists at the University of Saskatchewan. &#8220;This is what a feminist looks like,&#8221; it reads. This button illustrates at least two concepts that are key to understanding the current state of feminism in Canada. First, feminists are diverse. Feminists don&#8217;t all look the same and don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

&#8220;The lack of a gender-based analysis of welfare reform is having a devastating effect on the health and well-being of women.&#8221;
THE PRAIRIE WOMEN&#8217;S Health Centre of Excellence recently released a report entitled &#8220;Women and Social Assistance Policy in Saskatchewan and Manitoba,&#8221; which looks at the impact that changes in Canadian social [...]]]></description>

A university education is widely accepted as the &#8220;great equalizer,&#8221; the means by which class mobility can be achieved. But un-partnered mothers in academia&#8212;including undergraduate and graduate students, contract academic staff, and, to a lesser extent, tenure-track and tenured faculty&#8212;face structural barriers that put these women at a great disadvantage relative [...]]]></description>

by Stephen J. Ducat
Beacon Press, 2005
OVER THE LAST DECADE the emerging field of study known as &#8220;masculinity studies&#8221; has begun to generate a great deal of debate and attention.
