Books by Lois Harder

Alberta''s Conservative governments have employed several strategies to resist feminist claims for women''s equality, from stonewalling during the 1970''s oil boom, to grudging initiatives during the subsequent bust. Recently-under the guise of deficit reduction-Alberta has adopted a neoliberal ideology that seeks to shrink the province''s role as a guarantor of equality. Lois Harder has written the definitive study of the modern evolution of politics in Alberta as seen through the lens of women''s political struggles.
