Wordfest 2018: Judy Rebick

On June 26th, renowned Canadian social justice and feminist activist, writer, journalist, educator and speaker Judy Rebick came to Wordfest. Her new memoir, Heroes in My Head, is a fascinating, heartbreaking, but ultimately empowering story about the public and private battles that have shaped her life — from struggling with depression and repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse, to becoming a high-profile spokesperson in the fight to legalize abortion in Canada. Hosted by Sydney Sharpe, this event included a reading and on-stage interview with the author, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
