Biografie

Lynda Yanz was a feminist and socialist activist focused primarily on the rights of women workers and the working class. Yanz was also involved in the Marxist-Leninist movement, and her records suggest that she sought to bring these movements together in solidarity through her role in feminist organizations like the Vancouver Women's Research Centre and the International Women's Day Committee. Yanz was also involved with the Marxist-Leninist group In Struggle!, and collected their important documents and periodicals. Lynda Yanz currently is the Executive Director for Maquila Solidarity Network, a labour and women's rights organization supporting workers in the global garment and footwear industry, which she co-founded in 1993.

Bereik en inhoud

This series contains documents related to the Women's Research Centre in Vancouver. The WRC sought to provide women with research and analysis that situated their daily life experience in a poliical context, and connected women's issues with labour disputes and workers' rights. For example, the WRC sought to provide information and support to women working in Northern BC (Fraser Lake, Kitimat, Burns Lake, etc.), and convened a Northern Women's Task Force on Single Industry Towns. They also sponsored workshops on services for immigrant women, and provided methodology on "how to study your own community."
