New Feminist Research

New Feminist Research
volume 23 number 3

The articles in this issue feature new developments in feminist research. Barbara Freeman's piece, "The Media and the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada, 1966-1972," examines how the media has historically contributed to the public's understanding of the Commission's work. She focuses on the gender of the journalists and how this has affected the various perspectives the media has presented with regard to the status of women in Canada. Annmarie Adams' article, "Building Barriers: Images of Women in Canada's Architectural Press, 1924-73" analyzes representations of women in the Journal of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and how these representations relate to Canadian women's struggles for acceptance as professional architects. In "The Gender of Sound: Description, Definition and Mistrust of the Female Voice in Western Culture," Ann Carson discusses how women's voices have been interpreted in ancient and modern times. She argues that women have been discriminated against in numerous ways because of the sound of their voices. Mary Ann Duffy in "Linden Lore: Images of a New Educational Model for Young Women" reflects on her teaching practices at The Linden School, a feminist school for girls, which strives to help young women develop and sustain self confidence with regard to their academic abilities. A bibiliography compiled by Nathalie Stephens highlights women's literature from Guadeloupe. This issue also contains three reports on a conference held in Bombay in December 1993, which brought together feminist activists from Canada and India who work in the field of violence against women. Book reviews, announcements of events, conferences and feminist resources are included in this issue as well.
