- Vancouver Women's Caucus
- Description
- Feminist group established at Simon Fraser University in 1968, moving off-campus to Vancouver in 1969. The Women's Caucus organized demonstrations, discussions, and abortion counseling, dealing with issues such as jobs, education, and society's responsibility for children. In 1969 it founded the feminist newspaper, The Pedestal (later known as Women Can), and in 1970 it organized the Abortion Caravan to Ottawa. By 1971, the group had divided into issues-oriented ogranizations. In 1974, women students at SFU revived the SFU Women's Caucus, obtained club status in the Simon Fraser Students Society (SFSS), and opened the SFU Women's Centre. At that point, the SFU Women's Caucus developed into the Women's Centre Steering Committee.
