@ John Entwhistle Love the story about "Bay" the first female parliamentary reporter, and her gaining the right to go hatless into the Press Gallery.

by Katherine Govier 3/8/2011 1:49:19 PM
So glad to see women asylum seekers in the protests- for all the gender equality strategies, violence against women programs, etc- female asylum seekers are often treated on an entirely different, lower level. www.hrw.org

Great to all those marking this centenary. Experience shows that it is only under socialism that women’s needs can really be given priority, for it is only under socialism that the whole of production is geared to serving the needs of working people in general rather than the interests of profit, which always grudges every penny spent on wages and social facilities.

great article showing the contribution the Soviet Union has made to advancing the struggle for emancipation of women - www.cpgb-ml.org

Stephanie Nolen front page of the Globe and Mail here says she no longer sends Christmas cards, and instead sends cards on March 8th. Good idea!
