Scope and content
File consists of meeting minutes, correspondence, action proposals, event notices, notes, contact information, invoices and receipts, memos, and newspaper clippings related to the North Metro Waffle Women’s Liberation Group’s causes of changing abortion laws and equal pay for equal work. File also includes correspondence with Grace MacInnis, Member of Parliament for Vancouver-Kingsway, who put forward Bill C-165 in the House of Commons for abortion law reform in 1970. MacInnis provided the Women’s Liberation Group with details on the bill, the House of Commons debate report from the 3rd Session of the 28th Parliament (September 1971), excerpts of Commons Debates that included the previous Bill C-55 and earlier mentions of Bill C-165, and other responses where she voiced her support for the group’s efforts to take action on the issue of abortion. File also includes correspondence and newspaper clippings related to the Manitoba Minister of Transportation and Public Works Joe Borowski’s opposition to the Mount Carmel Clinic’s abortion services in Winnipeg. File also includes Prepas’ essay ‘Women in the Labour Force” and the lyrics to the song “The Women’s Fight,” which accompanies the agenda for the founding meeting of the North Metro Waffle Women’s Liberation Group on November 25, 1971.
