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

From the late-1960s to the mid-1980s, in the midst of the Cold War and second-wave feminism, 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. Just Watch Us 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.
