My commitment to feminism never wavered, but 35 years later, I wish there were more progress. I worry about the backsliding - on reproductive rights, on overt misogyny & violent speech in social media, the attacks on female-identifying politicians, and the relentless sexualization of girls & teens.

We were not fools - we could see discrimination & unequal treatment everywhere under the veneer of 1980s equality. Reproductive rights were still fragile. But the carnage of Dec 6th shone a light on the destructive power of misogyny and underscored the need for broad societal change in attitudes.

Astounding! Heenan Blaikie had NO ARCHIVES.
A firm that was good at law, but not business in Adam’s view.
Former partners of Heenan Blaikie kept various amounts of firm material.
Adam found fascinating correspondence in Pierre Trudeau’s personal papers.
