Donald E. Armstrong Building 3rd Floor, 3420 rue McTavish, Montreal, QC, H3A 3L1, CA
Price: 
FREE

Join us for an evening with one of Canada's pre-eminent human rights activists. In her new book, Ascent of Women, journalist Sally Armstrong shows us why women and girls are the way forward and introduces us to the leading women who are making change happen, from Nobel Prize winners to little girls suing for justice. Ascent of Women is about the final frontier for women: having control over your own body, whether in zones of conflict, in rural villages, on university campuses or in your own kitchen.

Hosted by the McGill Bookstore, this event will feature a lecture and Q&A session with Sally Armstrong and a book signing opportunity. Ascent of Women will be available on-site at a special discounted price.
