Book launch: Just Watch Us: RCMP Surveillance of the Women's Liberation Movement in Cold War Canada

From the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, the RCMP security service – prompted by fears of left-wing and communist subversion – monitored and infiltrated the women’s liberation movement in Canada and Quebec. This book investigates why and how this movement was targeted, weighing carefully the presumed threat its left-wing ties presented to the Canadian government against the defiant challenge its campaign for gender equality posed to Canadian society.
