Inside Broadside: A Decade of Feminist Journalism (A Feminist History Society Book 2019, 10)

Includes Susan G. Cole interviewing Gloria Steinem and writing by Margaret Atwood, Susan Crean, June Callwood, and Marian Engel. Broadside: A Feminist Review was a groundbreaking Canadian feminist newspaper published between 1979 and 1989. While Broadside paid attention to everything from feminists making art to street activism, it also covered the mainstream, from pop culture to peacemaking. The Broadside team uncovered the work of female artists and developed challenging and risky new ideas, all while participating in the day-to-day organizing of a grassroots movement. Broadside helped reinvent journalism to make room for a feminist voice. This collection looks at the impact of the newspaper on the lives of women. Through a selection of key articles, the book explores the issues and events, the conflicts and controversies, and the debates and discoveries of feminist theory and activism that formed the context and content of a decade of change. "Broadside: A Feminist Review was a groundbreaking Canadian feminist newspaper that published for 10 years between 1979 and 1989. Inside Broadside looks at the impact the newspaper had on the lives of both the women who participated in its creation and the women who read one or all of its 96 issues."-- Provided by publisher
