description: There is a tendency in discussions of women's politics to look at feminist theory, the women's movement, and public policy-making as three distinct phenomena. This work shows how these areas intersect. It does so by exploring how Canadian women have engaged in, and are engaging in, struggles against gender bias and oppression, and how this engagement relates to political action, public policy change, and the women's movement.
