Histórico

Elizabeth Shepherd was born in London, England on 12 August, 1936. Her parents were Methodist missionaries in Burma where she spent her early childhood. She began her career as an actor in England before moving to Canada in 1972 to appear at the Stratford Festival Theatre. She has worked extensively there, as well as in the United States and in England, performing in theatre, movies and television. She teaches Shakespeare and the English classics and has held seminars/workshops at the Stratford and Shaw Festivals.
Elizabeth had been interested in women’s issues through Voice of Women for Peace but became more actively involved when she was inspired by Michele Landsberg’s description of the Women’s Action Coalition in the US. When it was decided to start a similar action in Canada, she became an enthusiastic member and was active throughout the 1990s. She was also involved in women’s organizations like METRAC, which raised awareness of violence against women, and has a special interest in women and the legal justice system. Elizabeth resides in New York. She has a son, Edmund Boys.

Elizabeth s'est intéressée aux questions relatives aux femmes par l'intermédiaire de Voice of Women for Peace, mais elle s'est impliquée plus activement lorsqu'elle a été inspirée par la description que Michele Landsberg a faite de la Women's Action Coalition (Coalition d'action des femmes) aux États-Unis. Lorsqu'il a été décidé de lancer une action similaire au Canada, elle est devenue un membre enthousiaste et a été active tout au long des années 1990. Elle a également participé à des organisations féminines telles que METRAC, qui ont sensibilisé à la violence à l'égard des femmes, et s'intéresse tout particulièrement aux femmes et au système judiciaire.
