How can you wear your message?

The events and activities organized in conjunction with March 8 have often led to the creation of items of clothing on which the protestors could display their slogans. The Canadian Women’s Movement Archives collection at University of Ottawa contains numerous examples of t-shirts and buttons used in previous marches. While these objects may at first seem insignificant, they were extremely successful in both attracting attention and conveying messages to a wide audience at a glance.
