Because They Were Women: The Montreal Massacre
Because They Were Women: The Montreal Massacre | Josée Boileau
1 post | 2 to read
Fourteen young university students, murdered because they were women, are memorialized in this definitive account of a tragic day that forced a reckoning with violence against women in our culture. Each of the victims of what became known as the "Montreal Massacre" are remembered, their lives cut short on December 6, 1989, when a man entered their school and systematically shot every young woman he encountered, motivated by a misogyny with roots that go far beyond one man and one day.

Reading this on the 33rd anniversary of the #MontrealMassacre. The murder of 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique -mainly Engineering students - because they were women. This day says it changed our understanding about violence against women and created a cultural shift in thinking. But did it? Has it?
