Tara Goldstein from Gailey Road Productions is delighted to share the news that her new biography, Léa Roback: Quebec Social Activist, about her Great-Aunt Léa Roback is now out from Lived Places Publishing. A free e-book is available HERE.

Léa Roback (1903-2000) was well-known for her seven decades of activist work in Quebec, especially her union and women’s rights activism. This biography provides readers with an opportunity to read about Roback’s activist life and work from the perspective of one of her great-nieces, who is an activist herself. At a time when the geo-political moment has produced polarized views and a lack of dialogue, Roback’s ability to cross-borders – linguistic, religious, cultural, and class borders – to work towards social justice needs to be documented and shared. The biography will be of interest to educators and social justice activists around the world.
