The meeting was held at Shirley's with Linda hosting. Present were Betty, Colette, Janet, Linda, Marg, Michèle and Shirley. We discussed Shirley's book choice Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall.
Heather Marshall is a Canadian author. She worked in communications and politics and now writes full time. Looking for Jane.
The conversation was thoughtful and we discussed not only the accessibility of abortion before it became legal in Canada but also women's experiences with pregnancy, mother/daughter relationships, and many other issues around family and women in the 1960's and today.
It was evident that we do not all have the same views about abortion but the conversation was interesting and many of us learned about the homes for unwed mothers and the religious nuns money making schemes in selling babies.
Thank you Shirley for choosing such a thoughtful book.
