Lesbian author Jane Rule and the treasure inside her old dusty box

Jane Rule helped "create a nation" of Queer activists and activism along the west coast of Canada and the United States. She is one of the most influential authors and lesbians in Canadian history. Rule wrote honestly and courageously about Lesbian love and relationships at a time when it was still illegal to be a Lesbian in Canada.  She contributed to the unraveling of Canada Customs censorship of her and other authors' LGBTQ2S works at the Canadian border, as well as the broader acceptance of queer and lesbian citizens by Canadian society. My amazing guest is Bishop's University English professor, Linda Morra, PhD. She is a leading scholar of archival theory and Canadian women's writing, and a multiple award-winning instructor and researcher...and she was super fun to speak with. You'll also hear from Jane Rule herself. Hosted by: Award-winning broadcaster, Shawn Dearn. Cover art by Tim Singleton. Produced by Secret Agents.
