Feminism is a powerful word. It has different meanings, depending on who is asked, and can evoke visceral reactions.
Although women today have more opportunities and face less obvious discrimination than their mothers and grand-
mothers did, the struggle for women’s equality is still a relevant issue. Watching the evening news or observing everyday
life, it becomes clear that Canadian women still face inequality. The following statistics highlight this:
Each year, one out of four female university or college students in Canada experiences some variation of sexual assault.
Over 86 per cent of all criminal assaults in Canada are against women. Every second, a woman somewhere in Canada
experiences some form of sexual violence.
Women continue to be under-represented in Canadian politics. Women make up 52 per cent of the Canadian popula-
tion and currently hold 21.1 per cent of elected seats nationally. Ranking 51st, Canada now has fewer women in parlia-
ment than most developed countries and many developing countries, including Mauritania, Rwanda, and Afghanistan.
Of particular significance to ambitious female law students, in Canada, women continue to occupy only 37 per cent
of managerial positions, and only 22 per cent of senior management positions are held by women. Comparing men and
women who have full-time employment, women earn 71 per cent of the income of men. The wage gap is not the result of
lower educational levels. Women with university degrees earn 74 per cent of the income of their university-educated male
counterparts. Women with two or three children earn 12 to 20 per cent less than women without children.
In order to spark debate and raise the level of discourse on the issue of women’s equality and why there seems to be a
backlash against feminism by young women today, here are some thoughts on the matter from women of various back-
grounds, ideologies and politics:

“I think young women today may be confused about what feminism represents. The media and common cul-
ture likes to paint a picture of feminists as angry, man-hating women who burned their bras in the 70s and have it
out for any man in power nowadays. That definition doesn’t fit with what I’ve experienced and definitely doesn’t
describe any of the strong women that I look up to in my field, which is male dominated. Why are women who are
strong, confident, in control, and opinionated called bitches? This doesn’t serve anyone, including men. A ‘boys
against girls’ attitude in the workplace inhibits cooperation, creativity, and takes away all hope of the workplace be-
ing a safe haven for expressing opinions, learning, growing, and giving back. When I think about how much more
could be accomplished by everyone working together, encouraging each other, and giving credit where it is due,
compared to the power struggles, jealousy, worry and strife that often comes about, I am saddened. Can’t we all
be confident enough in our own skills and abilities that we can encourage our colleagues, whether male or female
to succeed? Women have come a long way in the work place, but I still see inequality. Feminism is a way that we
can understand where we’ve been and where we’re going and how so many in the past have had to fight to get gals
nowadays the respect that we deserve. Coming from a background in sociology, I understand the theory and realize
that many do not. Despite that, why does ‘feminism’ bring forth so many negative thoughts? We should embrace
the movement, theory, and continue to fight for positive changes that encourage growth for men and women in the
workplace.” - A Legal Administrator in her 20s from Portland, Oregon.

“Feminism was a necessary evolutionary move starting in the 60s. The burning of the bras and such things that
appeared on the news is what gave “feminism” a bad name. But, even though it seemed only for the radical, I was
cheering it on and so were many of my friends. Finally, a small light was being focused on the inequality of wages,
[social] rules, etc… It took many sacrifices to get to where we are… I don’t have a problem with the word [femi-
nism]. I think it started out as a radical label for women, but I hope not anymore…” - An artist and educator in her
60s from Hawaii, U.S.A.

“I agree that feminism has its place, but I have issues with how strongly it is flaunted today in educational envi-
ronments. Sometimes I think feminism is overly aggressive in that it almost seeks issues where there really aren’t
any. There needs to be balance; there are certain things that seem to not be okay for men to do or say, but if women
do or say something similar about men then it is fine.” - A law student in Calgary in her 20s.

“I’ve always thought I was a feminist, aka Betty Friedan and the awakening of the notion of equal rights that
emerged from the 60s civil rights movement. That has been a foundation of my thinking, though not necessarily
always the way I’ve lived my life. Because I grew up in a time when women were struggling hard to be heard and
to be equal in school and the workplace, I assumed we ‘won’ the fight and could move on from there. I haven’t
experienced discrimination since I went back to university in the 80s, nor have I experienced it in my work environ-
ment. But, I have seen it to my great distress and horror, among the students I teach. I don’t know what the 21st
century concept of feminism is. The media and the spin-masters have changed the game so profoundly that ‘truth’ is
a rare commodity, and what appears as equal can have a totally different reality. Does the notion of real equality still
remain? I see such inequality in the world today, but it’s no longer just for women—it’s for men too, and the poor,
and the learning disabled, and ‘different’ children, and the ‘third world’, and so many more. (In some cases, dogs
are given more respect and equality than humans.)” - A teacher in her 50s from Victoria, BC.

“Many think that the age of post-feminism means that feminism is over. But like other ‘isms’, post-feminism like
other ‘posts’ (post-colonialism, post-911) means the continued effects of feminism. And no where do we see the
continuation of feminism more than in pop culture. The ‘girl power’ of the Spice Girls and the ‘women take power’
of films like Legally Blonde suggest that women are still in pursuit of recognition for their strengths. You Go Girl!”
- A university professor from Kelowna, BC in her 50s.

“To me feminism means the equality of men and women, as well as the equality of all races, sexual orientation,
and class. It is the equality of all, but focusing on the equality of the sexes. I am definitely a feminist and proud to
be one!” - A 24-year-old student from Victoria, BC.

“What do I think about feminism? It’s awesome, and I’m glad it happened. Otherwise, women would be stuck
back in the 50s, high on Valium, scrubbing the floor in our Sunday best. I suppose the start of feminism glimpses
further back than that. Thank god we can vote now, wear pants when we want, and not have to worry about leav-
ing the house without a male escort. Do I identify as a feminist? Yes and no. I’m definitely not a hardcore feminist.
I enjoy the domestic aspects of my life, including cooking a yummy meal for my boyfriend. I also have no problem
allowing him to buy me things. I’m sure few women do. I’ll probably always wear a bra, make-up, and dress in sexy
lingerie on occasion to please my man. However, I will never compromise my health (again) and beliefs to fit into a
cookie-cutter model of what has been determined ‘beautiful’ by public perception. And, I would absolutely hate it
if a man ordered for me at a restaurant without asking, but I would like it if he opened the door for me walking into
the restaurant… Feminism has resulted in a lot of positives for women in today’s society; however, we are far from
getting where we need to be. I don’t know if equal rights across the board in all aspects for men and women is ever
possible. There are too many countries in the world that still abide by religion and law that prevent women from ex-
ercising any rights at all. We still have the glass ceiling. We still have that man in every work environment who will
flirt relentlessly, comment on your breasts, or flat-out proposition sex. Women still do the majority of housework,
cooking, and child-rearing in most households. Overall, feminism is a good thing. I think some women can take it to
extremes though.” - A 30-year-old Admissions Officer at a professional college in Vancouver, BC.

“Yes, I am a feminist and I am proud to say so. I think that there are a lot of folks who are feminists but they just
don’t know it. We live in a patriarchy that functions on the oppression of certain groups, so feminism, given that it’s
about equal rights for all, is seen as a threat. Because of this, it has been given a bad reputation. Many people actu-
ally are feminists, or at least they have the same beliefs and values as feminism, but they don’t know it because they
have the wrong idea of what feminism is. I’ve heard so many people say, ‘yes, I believe in equality but I’m not one of
those feminist-types’. The feminist has been portrayed in the media as a man-hating, ugly, hairy, bitter lesbian. The
truth is, feminism is for everyone and anyone can be a feminist. There is no one type of person that makes a femi-
nist. One of my favourite feminists in the world is a straight man! Feminism is a huge movement and ideology and
there are different kinds of feminism out there. However, feminism, at its heart, is about recognizing that there are
inequalities in the world and this is unjust and must be rectified. Women are one of the most marginalized groups of
people in most societies, so a lot of feminist work focuses on improving the treatment of women, but it also consid-
ers all marginalized people.” - A 27-year-old medical student in Victoria, BC.

“I grew up thinking I could be the Queen’s Secretary. Her picture was in our living room. My Mother was re-
ally the Queen of my world, and the first ‘feminist’ I knew. Feminism was a visceral thing for me growing up and
becoming a woman. It meant I could finally wear pants to school, and that was big news in a climate where we
walked in the -40 degree bitter winter twice daily. It meant getting a good paying job in my early 20s to pay for my
education. I was the first woman in Alberta hired to work on a highway weigh scale crew. I had to fight to get that
job in the mid-1970s, assisted by the now defunct Alberta Government Human Rights Commission. It meant ac-
cess to birth control when I became sexually active, and when the birth control failed, it meant access to a safe and
legal abortion. We were living in Edmonton in 1975 when the Murdoch Case decision came down. My mother was
outraged. As a single mom raising five kids on her income as a teacher, I had only a vague understanding of the
case, and what it meant. I now understand what fuelled her anger. She told me about the Famous Five, and gave me
books to read. We walked in Emily Murphy Park. I don’t know many young women or men today who know the
names Emily Murphy or Nellie McClung, or what they mean to civil liberty and human rights in Canada. Through-
out the 1970s I read voraciously, like all my friends, both men and women. We passed the books around: The
Second Sex and Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan. Anaiis Nin was a cult hero. Germain Greer was wonderful and
outrageous. When Gloria Steinem started Ms Magazine everyone I knew got a subscription. Playgirl Magazine ran
a centerfold of Burt Reynolds. The world of civil rights was still hot from the March on Washington in ‘63. Martin
Luther King’s words inspired the next 10 years of intense hope and struggle for human rights. Feminism was tied to
Woodstock, Kent State, and the Peace Movement. It was my coming of age.” - A Community Coordinator for a non-
profit organization in her 50s from Victoria, BC.

Murray Fraser Hall
President’s Message
By Wilma Shim, 3L

Hi Students!

Hope the New Year is treating you all well. Before I tell you about the fun events that
the SLS has planned for the rest of the year, I would first like to take this opportunity to
thank Matt Grant and his committee members for putting on a great Law Formal. A spe-
cial thanks goes to Scotiabank for sponsoring this great event!
Looking forward to the next few months, the Society of Law Students is busy prepar-
ing for the highly anticipated Law Show, an event which allows students and professors
alike to display their secret talents on the “world stage.”
After the highly successful first-ever “Judge Lamoureux Coffee Shop,” Judge
Lamoureux will be hosting another coffee shop on March 3, 2010 at noon in the stu-
dent lounge. The topic is entitled “Building a Practice and Generating Client Loyalty”
and more treats will be served!
The Yearbook committee will be having its second meeting on Feb. 22, 2010 at noon.

Happy February,
Wilma

MOOT NOTEBOOK
By Orlagh O’Kelly 3L

Recent goings on at Murray Fraser Hall have meant lots of play and little work. Thanks to Matt Grant (1L) and the
SLS, we enjoyed the classiest student formal in U of C law history at the Belvedere on Stephen Avenue. Students em-
braced the Mad Men theme and threw back their style a few decades. The annual Ski Trip offered yet another reason to
avoid the library and thanks is in order to Esther Kim (3L).
February and March will turn a page, when students get into the thick of Mooting season. As of publication, the Black-
stone debate finalists were announced. Erin Farrell (3L) and Laura Coward (3L) took on the underdogs Tom Hatfield
(1L) and Roisin Hutchinson (1L) on February 5, 2010.
Meanwhile, faculty members are keeping busy, including Professor Jennifer Koshan who will go to a conference in
Nairobi this month; Jasmine Girgis who will begin funded research on Corporate Restructuring.; and Greg Hagen who
will take advantage of this year’s BLG fellowship to research “Internet Gate Keeping in Canada.”

HOT: While second and first years languished in blockweek, third year students enjoyed the gem of blockweek. The trial
advocacy course allowed students to learn from Calgary’s best litigators, to cross-examine police officers and to run a
trial at the beautiful court house downtown. NOT: Faculty reticence to allow third year students into a recently required
course, the dreaded Advanced Legal Research. A few students will never again be so happy to complete a series of mind
numbing research projects.

HOT: Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff took advantage of the prorogation to go on a cross country campus tour. A signifi-
cant number of law students went across to hear Ignatieff emphasize the importance of the youth and knowledge in the
future. NOT: Law students’ inability to pre-empt the trite questions from the crowd on “ do you like torture?” (one stu-
dent taunted the older questioner: “I don’t think he goes here!), “what will you do for me,” and are you really Canadian?

HOT: Olympic fever hits the law school when the Torch relay could be viewed from the Bennett Jones Library. Some
students also took the opportunity to hear about one of the last sports to keep its doors closed to some (fearless) women:
ski jumping NOT: One Olympian place for coffee will not have its lease extended by the University. Ploughboy, a coffee
joint in the Earth Sciences building, will shut its doors and its Kicking Horse Coffee makers at the end of February.

Women in Law Panel

The Panelists, from left to right: Kelly Bourassa, Marney Lutz, Salimah Walji-Shivji, Susan Pepper, Nancy Brennan

Text & Photos by Anjli Patel


This year, the Women in Law Panel featured five women with diverse backgrounds, ready
to share their experiences with students in attendance. The women spoke candidly about a
variety of issues, such as having children, parenting, making partner, marketing oneself,
and maintaining balance.
Vital Stats
Work Full Time: All
Firm Jobs: Kelly Bourassa (Blakes); Marney Lutz (Scott Hall)
In-house Counsel: Salimah Walji-Shivji (Alberta Health Services); Nancy Brennan
(EnCana)
Worked at a Big Firm at some point: Kelly Bourassa, Marney Lutz, Nancy Brennan
Has Children: Kelly Bourassa; Marney Lutz (2), Susan Pepper (2)
Has a Nanny: Marney Lutz, Kelly Bourassa
Education in addition to Law: Salimah Walji-Shivji (Bachelors & Masters in Social
Work); Susan Pepper (Masters in Religious Studies); Nancy Brennan (Technical Writer)
The women offered great advice on managing one’s career. Ms. Lutz said that building the
courage to tell her colleagues and clients how she was going to run her practice had the opposite
effect than what she expected – it garnered her more respect. Ms. Walji-Shivji maintained that
she has tried to remain humble in her interactions with other professionals. Ms. Pepper felt that
you should always keep in mind that you can’t have control over everything. Ms. Brennan said
that a pivotal point in her career was working with another woman while at a big firm; she
recommended that students seek out a mentor in the early stages of their career.
At times, the discussion caused me anxiety. In the context of work-life balance, Mentor-in-
Residence Virginia May mentioned the infamous quotation, “The law is a jealous mistress.” A
quick search on Wikipedia revealed that those words were uttered by Genevieve Rose Cline
(1879-1959), an American jurist. Apparently, Judge Cline never married and rarely took time off
from work. She believed that law was a difficult career for a woman, and that a woman in law
would have to choose between her career and marriage. In short, Cline’s Wikipedia entry paints
a somewhat bleak portrait of her personal life.
The challenges and uncertainties of the profession were echoed by the panelists. Ms. Pepper
mentioned that it is hard for a woman to have it all; somewhere, something has to give, and
usually it is the woman who makes the sacrifice to work less. Ms. Lutz felt that it is even harder
to manage everything when both parents are working. Ms. Brennan said that the Blackberry has
blurred the lines between one’s work and personal life.
You could certainly accuse me of taking away the most pessimistic points from the discussion,
but I don’t see it that way. The point of the Panel isn’t to provide exact answers as to how I’m
going to deal with the challenges that I face as I move forward with my career. Rather, the point
of the Panel is to give students a solid idea of what the challenges might be, and how different
women in different situations, all brought together by law, the common denominator, have dealt
with them. The Panel promotes awareness of issues, and for this reason alone it is worth
attending. Many thanks to Maryanne Forrayi for organizing the event.

Mad Men-themed Formal
A Classy Affair Photos & Text by Anjli Patel

The night of Saturday, January 23


was the highly anticipated second
annual Law Formal. Due to a
generous donation by Scotia Bank, a
$25 ticket entitled students to two
drinks and a variety of delicious
hors d'oeuvres, including an oyster
bar. The downtown restaurant the Belvedere was the ideal venue for
the classy event. With the restaurant’s tables and chairs cleared
away, the narrow open space, featuring hardwood floors, mirrored
walls, exposed brick, industrial ceilings, and plush velvet loungers
set the tone for the Mad Men-themed evening.
Students took the formal’s theme to heart. Mad Men, the 1960s New
York City-based television show, inspired attire from as early as
Dior’s “New Look”, up to the dawn of Studio 54. Generally, ladies
opted for fitted dresses with nipped waists and full skirts, and
accessorized with opaque tights, strands of pearls, dainty clutches, and
updos. A few ladies were lucky enough to wear their grandmothers’
fur shrugs, and Corinne Grigoriu had my attention with her
grandmother’s framed clutch. Two of my favourite looks of the
evening were Jennifer Baugh’s (above, left) inky, navy velvet cocktail
dress, and Orlagh O’Kelly’s (above, right) eggplant Prada skirt suit –

While the men generally kept it simple in suits and ties, Kane Richards

While I went to Israel hoping to get some answers to the conflict, I returned with more questions. This makes sense, if
the answer was that simple the conflict would be solved by now.
What I did learn while visiting Israel is that the media and many politicians in the West misunderstand and misrepre-
sent the conflict. The issues forming the conflict are complex and cannot simply be sandpapered down to a simple “one
side vs. the other” dichotomy.
The nature of the conflict, and possible solutions, differs greatly depending on who you are speaking with.
While in Israel we spoke with people who advocated a two state Israel/Palestine solution. We spoke with people who
advocated a one state Palestine solution. We spoke with people who advocated a one state Israel solution. We spoke with
Arab Israelis who said they wouldn’t leave Israel even if a state of Palestine was created; they were content with the high
quality of life they were enjoying in Israel.
We also spoke with people who didn’t care about the conflict—they just wanted to go about living their lives. I was
surprised to learn that many Israelis and Palestinians in fact work together each day. On weekday mornings the cars line
up at checkpoints between Israel and the West Bank as Palestinians drive into Israel for work and return home in the
evenings.
The most interesting conversations I had in Israel were with the locals, who are the most patriotic people I have ever
seen. Israeli flags fly from every window and the people there are intensely proud and
passionate about their country. I asked one woman what she loved most about Israel, and
she smiled and said “it belongs to us, it is ours”. I understood at that point the deep level of
satisfaction and happiness it brings to the Jewish people to finally have their own place to
call home and be free from the fear of persecution. A visit to the Israel Holocaust Museum
cements why the Jewish people need a state, so they will never be left defenceless again.
Israel is a young country, and it will take many more years for peace to actually come to
this region. But in the meantime, Israel must do what they can to secure the homeland they
have fought to have for 2,000 years.

K: Well continuing with my boycott of the library, I find the best way to do the littlest amount of work is to actually go to class and

or you die. Secondly, take Bobby T’s advice and only do non-mandatory readings in classes like Advanced Civil Procedure or Biotechnol-

Life Outside Law School


Andrea Miller (2L)

What is your life outside law school like?


I work for the City of Calgary in Water Resources Strategic Planning and Policy as an “On-call” Re-
searcher. On-call meaning I am there full time in the summer and then 7-8 hours per week during the
school year. When I was in first year I knew a few people in my class who worked while going to school,
so I thought I would give it a shot this year as well.

What are the benefits of having responsibilities/interests outside of law school?


I am lucky as I genuinely like my job and like going there each week. I really enjoy all of the people I
work with and it’s nice to be able to talk to people about non-law related things. My job also gives me an
opportunity to apply some of the skills I have learned at school in a practical setting. Plus getting a pay-
cheque during the school year is pretty sweet.

What are the drawbacks, if any?


I can’t really think of any. When I first decided to work during the school year I was a little apprehensive
about the time commitment and how I was going to deal with it but it has been fine. I think that working
has made me more productive with my school work as I know I have less time to devote to it.

How do you make time in your schedule?


My job is really flexible. I am basically just expected to be at the Water Centre 7-8 hours each week. Last
semester I had Fridays off so I would go in then, this semester it’s Mondays, but it really varies depending
on what is going on in a given week.

What advice do you have for students who want a life outside law school?
I think that if you have the opportunity to work during law school you should at least try it. You will never really know
if you can handle something in addition to law school unless you experience it.
