An open letter (?) beginning "Dear Sisters," from Quebecois feminists explaining the relationship between feminism and the FLQ. Written after the invocation of the War Measures Act in Oct. 1970 following the kidnapping and execution of Minister of Labour, Pierre LaPorte, and the kidnapping of British Trade Commissioner, James Cross, the letter details the state oppression of FLQ activists before vaguely tying it in with the oppression of women. The authors conclude by declaring, "we will never cease in confronting male chauvinism [although] we are not sure to what extent members of the FLQ are aware of the oppression of women." Half FLQ support appeal, half second wave feminist declaration, a scarce document tying together two Quebecois liberation movements. We were unable to determine who the authors or recipients were, although we acquired it with a collection of material from the Marxlist-Leninist Red Women's Detachment, so it's likely they distributed it in NYC's Maoist circles during the early 1970s. Two corner-stapled pink sheets printed from typescript on rectos only. Faint offsetting around the edges, but about Near Fine. We were unable to locate a record for this document in OCLC. Scarce.
