Rogue Midwives: Birthing on the Sly

10-03-2004 22:01

The occasion provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress made towards equality and justice for women, and to demand change in the struggle against sexism and patriarchy.

Last week, Seven Oaks ( http://www.sevenoaksmag.com/) spoke to Robillard about the role of IWD and the women's movement in the context of severe cutbacks to women's centres and other programs necessary for women's equality in British Columbia.

Iraq, Johann Hari, Will Self and Howard Dean posing as Ralph Nader.

10-02-2004 19:48

Howard Dean tells Democracy Now that he's on the "democratic wing of the Democrat party". Will Self's retake on Wilde irradiates readers with lexical flashes and dazzling prolixity.
