Where the book stands today: Gloria Steinem

9/9/2016

I have been reading up on reproductive rights legislation in Canada (and Britain) going back to 1803 and discovered the Abortion Caravan, which made its way from B.C. to Ottawa in 1970. Also about the disturbance in Parliament that made the Speaker clear the House of Commons—not something that was taught in school.

This week I also mailed a thank you letter to Gloria Steinem. It was about time! She is so wonderful, and her writing has enriched my life so much.
