An Ounce of Prevention: Women's Health and the Environment Pamphlet

A 4-page pamphlet promoting the public education forum about the impact of toxic chemicals on women's health. The pamphlet includes an article entitled "Women in their Environment," with information on the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC) and their critical, gender-based analysis of health care, pharmaceuticals, environmental pollutants, and multinational corporatization, as well as information about the beginnings of the organization. As well, there is a 1-page article entitled "What's a Nice Environmentalist Doing, working on an issue like this?" by Miranda Holmes of the Georgia Strait Alliance. This article describes the work of the Georgia Strait Alliance and how the forum came to be organized, based on information Miranda Holmes learned from a forum in Seattle, WA called "Poisons in the Web of Life" (1995).
