What was it that pushed these women on, even when the lawyers said it was hopeless?\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the award-winning author of \u003cem\u003eThe Abortion Caravan\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMore Than a Footnote\u003c\/em\u003e, Karin Wells once again pulls us into the lives--and this time, the legal trials--of a group of women integral to the advancement of women's rights in Canada. Eliza Campbell, Chantale Daigle, Jeannette Corbiere Lavell--these \u003cem\u003eWomen Who Woke Up the Law\u003c\/em\u003e often had no idea what they were facing in the courts, or the price they would have to pay. Some never saw justice themselves, but they left a legal legacy. Their bold determination is something we need now more than ever to guard the hard-won gains in women's rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karin Wells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Second Story Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.91h x 6.16w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772604191","brand":"Second Story Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43914159521929,"sku":"9781772604191","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_24e88b71-b729-4c2d-9b08-8dc297a9f56d.jpg?v=1745300741","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/women-who-woke-up-the-law-inside-the-cases-that-changed-womens-rights-in-canada-9781772604191","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
