What does it take to win rights, and perhaps more importantly, what does it take to protect and preserve them?
In this episode, Heather Harris speaks with former Member of Parliament and author Peggy Nash. Together, they explore how intrepid women within the labour movement have driven progress through collective action, workplace advocacy, and political change.
From historic wins to today’s challenges, this conversation examines how feminism, workers’ rights, and economic justice continue to shape one another and why that progress can never be taken for granted.
At a time when hard-won rights feel increasingly fragile, this episode is a powerful reminder that change happens when people come together and that protecting these hard-won rights requires the same collective strength.
Key themes: feminism, labour movement, gender equality, women’s rights, collective action, workers’ rights, economic justice, social change, Canadian politics
