Picket Lines & Power: Women Who Reshaped Work

The Women’s History Project invites you to join a powerful three-part webinar series that confronts these gaps head-on. Together, we’ll explore the past, present, and future of women’s work in Canada—through the voices of those who have researched it, lived it, and fought to change it.

This series is for anyone committed to gender justice in the workplace.

This session traces the pivotal moments, movements, and voices that shaped women’s labour history—from early suffrage activism to the 1981 postal workers’ strike that transformed maternity leave rights, to the legal battles that redefined workplace protections.

Moderated by Marion Pollack, BC CUPW Trailblazer with speaker Joan Stangster, Professor, Trent University. Other panelists will be announced.
