Administrative history
Press Gang Printers was a feminist printing collective operating in Vancouver from 1970 to 1993. It incorporated under British Columbia's Companies Act as Press Gang Publishers Ltd. in April 1970. The organization included both women and men until 1974, when it was established as a women-only feminist collective.
Press Gang published its first book under its own imprint in 1976, a collection of essays entitled "I'm Not Mad, I'm Angry: Women Look at Psychiatry." Over the years, printing and publishing activities increasingly diverged, and in 1982 Press Gang established a separate collective to manage the publishing operations. In 1989 the separation was completed when the two collectives formally became distinct legal and corporate entities, Press Gang Printers Ltd. and Press Gang Publishers Feminist Cooperative. The two organizations, however, remained closely associated and continued to operate out of the same premises -- 603 Powell Street, where the shop was established in 1978, after four years in its previous location at 821 East Hastings Street.

Press Gang Printers était un collectif d'imprimeurs féministes opérant à Vancouver de 1970 à 1993. Il s'est constitué en société en vertu du Companies Act de la Colombie-Britannique sous le nom de Press Gang Publishers Ltd. en avril 1970. L'organisation comprenait des femmes et des hommes jusqu'en 1974, date à laquelle elle est devenue un collectif féministe réservé aux femmes.
Press Gang a publié son premier livre sous sa propre marque en 1976, un recueil d'essais intitulé "I'm Not Mad, I'm Angry : Women Look at Psychiatry". Au fil des ans, les activités d'impression et d'édition ont de plus en plus divergé et, en 1982, Press Gang a créé un collectif distinct pour gérer les opérations d'édition. En 1989, la séparation est achevée lorsque les deux collectifs deviennent officiellement des entités juridiques et des sociétés distinctes, Press Gang Printers Ltd. et Press Gang Publishers Feminist Cooperative. Les deux organisations sont toutefois restées étroitement associées et ont continué à exercer leurs activités dans les mêmes locaux - 603 Powell Street, où la boutique a été créée en 1978, après quatre années passées dans ses locaux précédents, au 821 East Hastings Street.
