Editors' Note / Note de la rédaction

Abstract

It’s time for me to write another editorial and, again, I thought long and hard about a subject. And then, while conducting some research for work, I discovered that on 16 February 1967, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson established the Royal Commission on the Status of Women. That’s almost 45 years ago to the day of writing this piece. How fortuitous! It seems only right and proper that I acknowledge what was a landmark moment in Canada’s history. A Commission that some thought would amount to nothing and that others outright mocked is now heralded as a major achievement of the Second Wave of feminism.
