The politics of pragmatism

"The Politics of Pragmatism illustrates how the contemporary Canadian women's movement, through its pragmatic pursuit of overlapping routes to political representation, has reshaped the ideas and practices of representation. It traces the constitutional activism of national feminist organizations from the disputes over the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the early 1980s to the October 1992 referendum on the Charlottetown Accord. The conclusion considers more recent developments and future constitutional options."--BOOK JACKET.
