SUMMARY:Women's History Project: Voices Rising: Activism and the Modern Workplace.
DESCRIPTION:The Women’s History Project is excited to invite you to our second Writing Women Into History webinar series. Our 2026 theme is: From Resistance to Redesign: Women Transforming Work \nAcross Canada and beyond\, the movement to learn\, teach\, and protect women’s histories is reaching a defining moment. For generations\, feminist scholars\, leaders\, and changemakers have shown how women’s stories — including around labour\, leadership\, and resistance — have been undervalued or unknown. Reclaiming these histories offers more than overdue recognition: it gives us the insight we need to redesign the future of work. By understanding where inequities come from\, we can challenge them more effectively\, champion fairer practices\, and build systems that truly value women’s contributions. \nThe Women’s History Project invites you to be part of this powerful three‑part webinar series\, where we confront these gaps together. You’ll hear directly from women who have researched these histories\, lived them\, and fought to change the conditions shaping women’s work in Canada and from women who continue to challenge the status quo and look ahead to new opportunities. —as well as from those continuing to challenge the status quo and push toward new possibilities. \nThis series is for anyone committed to gender justice: students\, educators\, researchers\, labour organizers\, activists\, policymakers\, community advocates\, and emerging leaders who believe that understanding women’s history is essential to transforming our world. collective future. We must know our history to defend our future. \nYou can reserve for all three sessions here on Eventbrite —- or to each of the individual events below. \nSession 2: Voices Rising: Activism and the Modern Workplace \nApril 9\, 2026\, 4:30pm – 6:00pm EDT \nThis session will examine persistent inequities across industries\, women’s unpaid work\, the impact of the care economy on women’s labour and barriers faced by women with diverse identities. This is a call to action for anyone committed or interested in how to buildbuilding workplaces where all women can thrive. \nSession 3: Beyond the Glass Ceiling: Designing Tomorrow’s Workplaces \nMay 7\, 2026\, 4:30pm – 6:00pm EDT \nThis forward-looking session will explore emerging opportunities for women in evolving industries\,  how leaders can build equitable\, inclusive futures and the lessons today’s trailblazers want to pass on. This is a conversation about possibility—and responsibility. \nWhy This Series Matters \nWomen’s histories have too often been pushed to the margins of mainstream narratives. Yet these stories—of struggle\, solidarity\, innovation\, leadership\, and courage—are essential to understanding how gender inequality has been built\, resisted\, and reshaped over generations. \nFrom the early fights for maternity leave and reproductive rights\, to landmark human rights cases\, to decades of unpaid and under‑recognized labour\, women have continually challenged Canada to confront its inequities. The push for pay equity\, workplace safety\, accessible childcare\, and fair representation is part of a long continuum of women demanding better—for themselves\, for their families\, and for their communities. And while progress has been made\, the work is far from finish \nFounded in 2021\, The Women’s History Project is committed to advancing gender equality by shining a light on women’s achievements across Canadian history. We believe that understanding the past equips women—and allies—to lead\, advocate\, and create meaningful change today. \nWe hope to see you there! \nVisit our Substack to learn more about what the Women’s History Project does\, and find out about our  1000 Voices\, 1000 Stories podcast\, subscribe to the Voices & Stories weekly digest\, and explore recommendationsrecommendation from On Our Bookshelf.   \nBe part of the history we’re building. \nJoin us there.
