“Up She Rises!

Recordings from Up She Rises! are now available on this website. Although the three‑day series of public forums has concluded, you can still explore the presentations, discussions, and performances that marked this capstone commemoration of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Newfoundland and Labrador. The archived videos offer an opportunity to revisit the insights shared by academics, researchers, activists, writers, and poets, and to continue engaging with the rich and evolving history of women and gender‑diverse people in the province.

Topics that were covered included the suffrage movement; gender and home production; women, spirituality, and community; politics and leadership; historical life-narratives; education and gender; women’s and family health and welfare; gender and community history; second-wave feminism.
