Did you know that the Canadian state once funded the National
Action Committee on the Status of Women Canada, funding salaries
and projects that allowed for shelters, child-care and daycare
centres, women's drop-in centres, bookstores, and crisis lines?
Writer and activist Nora Loreto joins Team Advantage to discuss her
book, Take Back
the Fight: Organizing Feminism for the Digital Age. What
happened to the feminist movement over the course of the neoliberal
turn, and what opportunities and pitfalls does the modern digital
landscape offer feminist and social-movement struggles?
