from Women and Gender Equality Canada:

Since 1992, October has been designated as Women’s History Month in Canada, a time to commemorate and celebrate the diversity of women and girls whose achievements and contributions make our lives better.

40 Fabulous Feminists & Amazing Activists of Northwestern Ontario

All the women who were interviewed directly (rather than via family and friends) for our book offered some thoughtful advice to young feminists and activists, as seen below in excerpts from our 50th anniversary zine:
