The women’s committee of l’Association pour une solidarite syndicale etudiante (ASSE) brought together at least 100 people from around Quebec for a two-day feminist training camp last weekend, packed with workshops ranging from theory (“Intersectionality”) to practical knowledge (introductory self-defence).

‘”The fight will be feminist, or there will be no fight,” promised the event’s description.

I headed to the pre-university host school in the city of Longueuil with a few left-wing feminists from Concordia University. We arrived at a stark grey concrete building and followed the signs to a cafeteria that had a distinct ’90s industrial vibe.
