Administrative history

The Women's Place was established in Toronto in 1972 at 31 Dupont Street. It was started by "a group of women who felt there were many women concerned about their liberation, but isolated from one another." It was felt that if these women could be put in contact with one another this would increase the power base women [were trying to build] for themselves. (Taken from the document "Who we are, Where we are, How we got here."
The intention was that the Women's Place would act in a coordinating function and provide a space for women for whatever their needs. They ran several workshops and programs, including a library and bookstore, a lesbian drop-in, liberation workshop, etc. as well as participating in speaking engagement and other activities.

Le Women's Place a été créé à Toronto en 1972 au 31 Dupont Street. Il a été créé par « un groupe de femmes qui pensaient que de nombreuses femmes se préoccupaient de leur libération, mais qu'elles étaient isolées les unes des autres. On pensait que si ces femmes pouvaient être mises en contact les unes avec les autres, cela augmenterait l’impact de leurs actions pour elles-mêmes ». (Extrait du document "Qui nous sommes, où nous sommes, comment nous en sommes arrivées là".)
L'intention était que Place aux femmes joue un rôle de coordination et offre un espace aux femmes, quels que soient leurs besoins. L’organisme a organisé plusieurs ateliers et programmes, dont une bibliothèque et une librairie, une halte lesbienne, un atelier de libération, etc. et a participé à des conférences et à d'autres activités.
