Join Archives and Special Collections at the University of Ottawa Library for the launch of their public history exhibit "The Feminist Economy: Women’s Perspectives on Trade and Labour".

Building from last year’s exhibit on feminist anti-imperialism, this year’s exhibit examines women’s labour struggles and feminist opposition to free trade in the context of the current United States trade war with Canada and Mexico. Visitors are invited to interpret feminist history through the lens of coalition-building and class struggle and connect archival records to the overlapping global crises of our present moment.

This event will feature a roundtable discussion with feminist scholars Marjorie Griffin Cohen (economist and former co-chair of the National Coalition Against Free Trade), Joan Sangster (author of Transforming Labour: Women and Work in Postwar Canada) and Meg Luxton (editor of “Neoliberalism and Everyday Life”).

*This event will be held mainly in English. Visitors are welcome to speak in English or French.

Location: Archives and Special Collections, MRT 039, concourse level of Morisset Building, 65 University Private, Ottawa, ON K1N 6N5
