This 1983 discussion paper by the Saskatchewan Action Committee, Status of Women addresses how the Canadian women’s movement has been affected by decades of government funding and policies. It asks who is “driving the women’s movement” and calls on women to demand the right to a self-determined women’s movement. This document argues that “the government system of decision making and responsibility is grounded in a system of male dominance” and working inside this system “results in frustration, alienation and burn-out.”
