Demanding Equality

"There are few, if any, historians better placed than Joan Sangster to write a history of a century of feminism in Canada... Demanding Equality is a book that is at once capacious in its scope and accessibly written." ~Magda Fahrni, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Labour / Le Travail

Sangster’s precisely written yet wideranging book is a tour de force that chronicles the struggles for ‘equality, autonomy, and dignity’ in all of their rich complexity.

~Elaine Coburn, York University, Literary Review of Canada

"Demanding Equality is a formidable book, wide in scope, commendably readable, expansive in content, and convincing in analysis."

~Rebecca Priegert Coulter, Professor Emerita, University of Western Ontario., University of Toronto Quarterly

[Demanding Equality] is an impressively balanced account that will undoubtedly become required reading for gender and women's history classes across the country. ~Catherine Carstairs, University of Guelph, JACANZ, Vol. 1, Issue 2
