In 1970, a male student at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario deemed the campus women's liberation group to be a ‘fraternity for frustrated females’. This perspective was commonplace at the supposedly liberal school, as male dissent against autonomous women's organising continued throughout the early 1970s.

From Maverick to Mainstream: Forty Years of Community Legal Centres
From their origins on the fringes of the legal community, community legal centres ('CLCs') have grown into a recognised and respected legal sector. This article examines the roots of the sector's longevity, asking how it survived where its precursors proved short-lived.
