December 6
THE MONTREAL MASSACRE - December 6, 1989 � A lone man walked into an engineering class at
L��cole Polytechnique at the University of Montr�al. He
separated the men from the women and told the men to
leave. After the male students complied, the man declared
his hatred of feminists and began to shoot the women with
a semi-automatic rifle. While police forces stood outside,
Marc L�pine went on a rampage, shooting and stabbing
the women at the school. He then shot himself.
. . . Women rose up to demonstrate in towns and cities across
the country. They connected L�pine�s acts of violence
to the everyday sexism to which women are subjected.
Women dedicated themselves to feminist organizing to
bring into reality their expectations of freedom for the
present and the future.  more
