As StFX Extension workers and community leaders, women were crucial to the organization and development of study clubs and cooperatives of the Antigonish Movement in its early years and beyond. As noted by Sister Irene Doyle (Anselm) “Women were really the backbone of the Antigonish Movement”. Their actions responded to the issues facing their communities – poverty, housing insecurity, food insecurity, the cost of living and more. Issues relevant today. Join us as we learn about these key community leaders determined to create change for themselves and their neighbours.
