Carmen Paquette (1946- )

Carmen is a Franco-Ontarien feminist, who, for almost three decades, has purposefully bridged different social movements in Canada and internationally. She states: "I have always strongly believed that all oppressions are linked and that therefore those fighting for social justice need to be aware of and support other struggles". (Carmen Paquette, Ottawa, 2000 Induction Statement)
