Christine Hayvice

I don’t know if women work in the pulp industry

I mean, the secondary industries like pulp and paper are not places where women work.

I took a course on women and the environment

I’ve been a worker and a trade union activist

I learned about feminism through the trade union movement

I didn’t know the academic analysis of feminism until I went to university

where I learned that there are all these different kinds of feminists

I’m not high-profile as a unionist anymore

but I’m still you know involved as a shop steward

how can I not have feminist analysis?

It didn’t feel very real to me sometimes.

I still struggle with it

I was totally intimidated

I like to bring a worker perspective to, to the debate

I’ve crossed the line!

I think that’s quite key, it isn’t easy to do

I mean that’s one of the keys.
