Tonight on Far North Sound, to honour the National Day of Remembrance of Violence Against Women, we celebrated women's voices by playing tracks by Canadian women.
This day is to honour the 14 women killed in 1989 at the École Polytechnique massacre. The killer's motive was a hate of feminism; He burst into a classroom, ordered the men to leave, and then began to shoot the women. The feminist movement was not squandered by his actions, instead it subsequently gained momentum. Tonight's show was dedicated to all the woman who speak out and strive for equality.
Special thanks to Cassandra, Hilda, Tara B, Sarah, Tara H, Cathy and Jessica for sharing their thoughts on feminism with me.
