Carole Fréchette suggests: “What if we made a play? But this time, we should make a play ...

The UN declared 1975 the “International Women's Year,” ironically using the singular form in French (Année internationale de la femme). It was a pivotal time: more and more women were divorcing or entering the workforce. Yet a pregnancy was enough to justify dismissal, and maternity leave would not exist until 1979. The members of Théâtre des Cuisines returned to the stage with their second pla...

Montreal, 1973. Canadian law now permits abortion. But the criteria are very restrictive, and women depend on the goodwill—more often the ill will—of the men sitting on the committees that approve or deny them. Quebec is the province where it is most difficult to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, and clandestine abortions are common: they are the leading cause of hospitalization among women. Yet...
