New book about women, written by Canadian women

Prominent Canadian women have a message for Prime Minister Stephen Harper: they refuse to be silenced.

The women – feminists, activists, academics, economists, and former politicians – responded to last spring's advice from Senator Nancy Ruth to keep quiet on women's issues by writing essays for a new book, Speaking Truth to Power, by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).
