As the pandemic continues to alter the fabric of our society, recent studies show that women continue to be the hardest hit by the economic fallout from COVID-19. Despite enduring these hardships, women continue to be our primary caregivers, direct service providers and much- needed leaders in our communities.

In Lauren McKeon’s new book Women of the Pandemic: Stories from the Frontlines of COVID-19, the author revisits the early months of the health crisis through the eyes of several women whose perseverance and resilience helped Canada navigate the global pandemic.

Join Lauren McKeon, in conversation with president and CEO of the Canadian Women’s Foundation, Paulette Senior, as they discuss this important new book.
