The Montreal massacre /

An uneven collection consisting of personal reflections, letters to newspaper editors, personal correspondence, and analysis of the assassination of 14 women by a man in a classroom of the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, Canada, on 6 December 1989. These selections reflect the editors' three intentions: to expose misogyny, to raise consciousness, and to express rage. Most fruitful are "Buryin Women's Words"; "Violence, Fear, Feminism"; and "Where are the 49%. . .?", which offer insightful feminist analysis of the massacre and response to it. A knowledge of Quebec provincial politics is helpful. No illustrations; and references appear only in the analytical pieces. Undergraduate readers.-V. P. Caruso, Nazareth College
