What was it that pushed these women on, even when the lawyers said it was hopeless?”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKarin Wells once again pulls us into the lives—and this time, the legal trials—of a group of women integral to the advancement of women’s rights in Canada. Eliza Campbell, Chantale Daigle, Jeannette Corbiere Lavell—these \u003cem\u003eWomen Who Woke Up the Law\u003c\/em\u003e often had no idea what they were facing in the courts, or the price they would have to pay. Some never saw justice themselves, but they left a legal legacy. Their bold determination is something we need now more than ever to guard the hard-won gains in women’s rights. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karin Wells (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":43169014251587,"sku":"9781772604191","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3523\/2323\/files\/BNCImageAPI_297b9ef9-81c8-452f-87af-b19f6673a9de.jpg?v=1776813213","url":"https:\/\/thebookshop613.ca\/products\/9781772604191","provider":"The Bookshop 613","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
