| Communications volume 20 numbers 1 and 2 Articles in this special issue are organized around the theme of communication within a feminist context. The first two articles examine the limitations of the feminist movement and its organization. In "Changing the Politics of the Women's Movement" members of the International Women's Day Coalition discuss how issues affecting marginalized people have been historically ignored by white, middle-class visions of the women's movement. Diane Driedger, in her article "Women with Disabilities: Naming Oppression," writes of the struggles of women with disabilities to be recognized within feminist organizations. This issue also looks at different mediums of communication and their pedagogical possibilities. The Mujer a Mujer Collective describes the political import of computer networking for feminist organizations worldwide. Helen Lenskyj describes distance education and how it allows women in isolated areas of the country access to feminist information. Marian Bredin explores the status of women in co-op radio, and the Canadian Women's Indexing Group writes about the difficulties of recapturing and documenting feminist information in the form of a Canadian feminist periodical index. The final theme addressed in this issue focuses on media representations of women. The article by Debbie Wise Harris, "Colonizing Mohawk Women: Representations of Women in the Mainstream Media," describes how media stereotypes of the "Indian woman" perpetuate the colonization of First Nations women. MediaWatch reports on findings from a two year study on sexism in Canadian Newspapers and Philinda Masters looks at the role of feminist presses and periodicals in "A Word from the Press: A Brief Survey of Feminist Publishing." This issue also includes the annual index of RFR/DRF's Volume 19 (1990). |
