Episode 8: FMWC 100 Series - A Women's Health Revolution (1970+)

Friday, September 27, 2024 • Duration 14:16

In Episode 8 of the FMWC 100th Anniversary Podcast Series, the focus is on the pivotal shifts in women’s health legislation during the 1970s and 1980s, and the key role that female physicians played in the feminist movement. Building off the previous episode’s introduction of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada, this episode examines how feminist groups mobilized for change and how second-wave feminism shaped reproductive rights in Canada.

The episode concludes by acknowledging the significant progress made during the second wave of feminism while also highlighting the ongoing intersectional struggles faced by marginalized women, particularly Indigenous women. It sets the stage for the next episode, which will explore the evolution of women's health and leadership from the 1990s to the present day.
