In 1844, seven widows dared to cast ballots in an election in
Canada West, a display of feminist effrontery that was quickly
punished: the government struck a law excluding women from the
vote. It would be seven decades before women regained voting rights
in Ontario. Our Voices Must Be Heard explores Ontario's suffrage
history, examining its ideals and failings, its daring supporters
and thunderous enemies, and its blind spots on matters of race and
class. It looks at how and why suffragists from around the province
joined an international movement they called "the great cause."
This is the second volume in the seven-part Women's Suffrage and
the Struggle for Democracy series.
The child in many post-apocalyptic films occupies a unique space
within the narrative, a space that oscillates between death and
destruction, faith and hope. The Child in Post-Apocalyptic Cinema
interrogates notions of the child as a symbol of futurity and also
loss. By exploring the ways children function discursively within a
dystopian framework we may better understand how and why
traditional notions of childhood are repeatedly tethered to sites
of adult conflict and disaster, a connection that often functions
to reaffirm the "rightness" of past systems of social order. This
collection features critical articles that explore the role of the
child character in post-apocalyptic cinema, including classic,
recent, and international films, approached from a variety of
theoretical, methodological, and cultural perspectives.
