From Resistance to Redesign: Women Transforming Work | Part 1 of 3

In this webinar, historians and labour scholars explore women’s labour activism in Canada. From fights for fair wages, the right of married women to keep their jobs, and paid maternity leave, to challenging workplace discrimination and sexual harassment—in factories, offices, and the airline industry—women reshaped work through everyday resistance and collective action, a legacy that continues today.
