Because They Were Women
Fourteen young women, murdered because they were women, are memorialized in this definitive account of the tragic day that forced a reckoning with violence against women in our culture. The victims of what became known as the “Montreal Massacre” are remembered, their lives cut short on December 6, 1989 when a man entered École Polytechnique and systematically shot every young woman he encountered. The killer was motivated by a misogyny whose roots go far beyond one man and one day. This book examines how December 6 precipitated an entire cultural shift in thinking around gender-based violence.

Contemporary Quebec
In the last seventy years, Quebec has changed from a society dominated by the social edicts of the Catholic Church and the economic interests of anglophone business leaders to a more secular culture that frequently elects separatist political parties and has developed the most comprehensive welfare state in North America. In Contemporary Quebec, leading scholars raise provocative questions about the ways in which Quebec has been transformed since the Second World War and offer competing interpretations of the reasons for the province's quiet and radical revolutions.

Ce jour-là parce qu’elles étaient des femmes
6 DÉCEMBRE 1989. Un homme vient d’assassiner 14 jeunes femmes – 12 étudiantes en ingénierie, une étudiante infirmière et une employée – dans l’enceinte de l’École polytechnique, en plus de blesser 14 autres personnes, avant de se suicider. Trente ans plus tard, « Ce jour-là — Parce qu’elles étaient des femmes » souhaite mettre en lumière les conséquences tirées de cette journée fatale. Quels sont les débats sociaux qui ont suivi et quelles ont été les retombées sur la place des femmes dans la société québécoise ? Mais il s’agit aussi d’un vibrant hommage aux victimes, souvent oubliées. Qui étaient-elles ? Que seraient-elles devenues ?

Fear, Love, and Liberation in Contemporary Québec
In response to rapid and unsettling social, economic, and climate changes, fearmongering now features as a main component of public life. Right-wing nationalist populism has become a hallmark of politics around the world. No less so in Quebec. Alexa Conradi has made it her life’s work to understand and to generate thoughtful debate about this worrisome trend. As the first President of Québec solidaire and the president of Canada’s largest feminist organisation, the Fédération des femmes du Québec, Conradi refused to shy away from difficult issues: the Charter of Quebec Values, religion and Islam, sovereignty, rape culture and violence against women, extractive industries and the trea...
