Description
March 17 Toronto The Other Woman, Canada's major feminist newspaper, officially ceased publication after volume 5, issue 1. The paper closed due to rising debts and a decline in the collective's membership (down to two, Gillean Chase and Cynthia Wright) and in volunteer numbers. The archives of the publication were entrusted to Pat Leslie, a former member of the collective. On July 14, 1977, Leslie announced the formation of the Women's Archives, which was organized to record and preserve the history of the women's movement (including lesbian history) in Canada; the file of The Other Woman formed the core of the collection at its inception.
