Feminist Outlooks on Canada: Opening Up Circles
In this issue, we discuss women and feminism, circles to be opened and fields invested. First step: equip ourselves. Keeping in mind the figure of the Boys’ Clubs, these circles “where men are hierarchically superior to women”, we must identify and understand how they work to support and maintain male domination. Second step: Investigate a concrete case. The information technology sector: is it a Boys’ Club, in Canada and in Quebec? To what extent is the under-representation of women in IT a problem and how can it be remedied? Third step: re-equip ourselves and read the research in feminist studies.
