Descrição
Resumo:Léa Roback (1903–2000), who was my great-aunt, was well known for her seven decades of activist work in Quebec, especially her union and women’s rights activism. This biography provides readers with an opportunity to read about Roback’s activist life and work from the perspective of one of her great-nieces, who is an activist herself. At a time when the geopolitical moment has produced polarized views and a lack of dialogue, Roback’s ability to cross linguistic, religious, cultural, and class borders – in order to work towards social justice needs to be documented and shared. The biography will be of interest to educators and social justice activists around the world.
