Description
Elizabeth Renzetti explores the ongoing struggle for gender equity in Canada, drawing on her own experiences and years as a journalist. She examines issues such as the barriers that deter young women from public life, the impact of non-disclosure agreements on victims of harassment, and the disparities in healthcare and financial opportunities. Renzetti's book is a forceful and accessible exploration of the ways in which societal norms and institutions perpetuate inequality. It also considers the role of technology in promoting inclusivity and the need for greater awareness about emotional labour and caregiving responsibilities. Through her writing, Renzetti sheds light on the complexities of women's lives in Canada today, highlighting areas where progress has been made but much work remains to be done.
