Book Now Book Now

Bonnie Thompson, Bonnie Sherr Klein, Moira Simpson, Zainub Verjee, Judy Rebick are among the Canadian feminist luminaries who recount tales from the trenches, the gory glory days of 1970s, 80s and 90s,when battles were being fought and won on cultural fronts across many media and social strata, before the internet came in and changed everything. Analogue Revolution: How Feminist Media Changed the World traces the rise and fall of analogue feminist communications that preceded the MeToo era. From Halifax to Vancouver, feminist storytellers took hold of cutting-edge media technology to document everything from violence towards women, to how to insert a diaphragm.
