  • Emancipate This!

    Emancipate This!
    2020/08/01
    Alyssa explores the history of Emancipation Day in Canada and the reality of Canadian history as we teach it now.

    Note:
    The definition of Femme is NOT someone who identifies as female (that language was incorrect)
    A Femme (definition used from Ericka Hart) "is someone who does NOT benefit from masculine privilege in a patriarchal world." (Hart 2020)

    My definition excluded gender non-conforming folx, non-binary folx, and people assigned male. I apologize for mis-representing the original definition. Know better, do better!
