Scope and content
File consists of the Waffle Women’s Group’s notes, newspaper clippings, photocopied chapters of socialist and feminist texts, recommended reading lists and correspondence. It includes photocopies of Robert H. McNeal’s article ‘Women in the Russian Radical Movement’ in the Journal of Social History, volume 5 (1971); Muriel Schien and Carol Lopate’s article ‘On Engels and the Liberation of Women’ in Liberation volume 16, no. 9 (1972); and Eleanor Burke Leacock’s ‘Introduction to Engels “Family.”’ File also includes letters from the Office of the Prime Minister (Pierre Elliot Trudeau), the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada (John N. Turner), and the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources (J. J. Greene), whose assistants and deputies answered Prepas’ letters regarding the issue of abortion in the Criminal Code of Canada. File also includes a statement from the Ontario Women’s Abortion Law Repeal Coalition regarding the actions that had already been taken (up to 1971) to change the Criminal Code on abortion and called for more women and organizations to join the coalition.
