The society held an influential conference in Vancouver from June 30 to July 3, 1983; participants included Canadian women writers, editors, publishers, critics, printers, typesetters, academics, playwrights, librarians, distributors, booksellers, translators, and educational and cultural organizers. The conference featured presentations of papers, panel discussions, workshops and interviews relevant to such themes as: feminism, power and alternative structures doing it (i.e. developing work strategies), traditions and new directions. Following the conference, the West Coast Women and Word Society continued to fulfil their mandate by organizing poetry competitions, hosting readings and events, editing and compiling anthologies of women's writing, and running a mentorship program designed to connect young women writers with more established ones."],"collection_source_collection_id":["MsC 23"],"persistent_url":[""],"item_title":["Women and Words - \"Creativity and Child-Bearing, Child-Raising\": Marian Engel, Joan Haggerty, and Libby Sheier at UBC on July 1,1983"],"item_title_source":["Conference Program"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Engel, Marian","Shields, Carol","Sheier, Libby","Haggerty, Joan"],"creator_names_search":["Engel, Marian","Shields, Carol","Sheier, Libby","Haggerty, Joan"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Engel, Marian\",\"dates\":\"1933-1985\",\"notes\":\"Panel presenter\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Presenter\"]},{\"url\":\"https://viaf.org/viaf/4944537/\",\"name\":\"Shields, Carol\",\"dates\":\"1935-2003\",\"notes\":\"Speaks during question period\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"https://viaf.org/viaf/68987894/\",\"name\":\"Sheier, Libby\",\"dates\":\"1946-2000\",\"notes\":\"Panel presenter\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Presenter\"]},{\"url\":\"https://viaf.org/viaf/91640661/\",\"name\":\"Haggerty, Joan\",\"dates\":\"1940-\",\"notes\":\"Panel presenter\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Presenter\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Performance_Date":[1983],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/8768/MSC76-025a.jpg\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/8 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"\",\"generations\":\"\",\"Conservation\":\"Good\",\"equalization\":\"\",\"playback_mode\":\"\",\"playing_speed\":\"\",\"sound_quality\":\"Good\",\"recording_type\":\"Analogue\",\"storage_capacity\":\"\",\"physical_condition\":\"Good\",\"track_configuration\":\"\",\"material_designation\":\"Cassette\",\"physical_composition\":\"Magnetic Tape\",\"accompanying_material\":\"\",\"other_physical_description\":\"Clear tape box\"}]"],"material_designations":["Cassette"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"digital_description":["[{\"file_url\":\"https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/women-and-words-creativity-and-child-bearing-child-raising-marian-engel-joan-haggerty-and-libby\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"MSC23-25-SideA.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T02:20:34\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"152 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"Sound Recording\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"},{\"file_url\":\"https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/women-and-words-creativity-and-child-bearing-child-raising-marian-engel-joan-haggerty-and-libby-0\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"MSC23-25-SideB.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:47:09\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"51.1 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"Sound Recording\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1983-07-01\",\"type\":\"Performance Date\",\"notes\":\"Friday at 11–12:30pm\",\"source\":\"Conference Program\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/83433307\",\"venue\":\"Angus Building, University of British Columbia, Room A417\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC\",\"latitude\":\"49.26503765\",\"longitude\":\"-123.25386541436339\"}]"],"Address":["University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC"],"Venue":["Angus Building, University of British Columbia, Room A417"],"City":["Vancouver, British Columbia"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Side A includes a duplicate of the long poem workshop that is on MsC23-24 (0:00:00-1:06:30), then thirty minutes of silence, then the actual panel of MsC23-25 is on the remainder of Side A and on Side B\",\"type\":\"General\"}]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670556043313152,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:00.367Z","score":5.9116282}]
