| Summary: | Abstract
This article is more political than legal. Using the approaches identified by feminist institutionalism, it focuses on the interactions between the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women (CACSW) and the Canadian government during the constitutional crisis of 1980-1981. How did the gendered institutions of the federal government facilitate a narrative that, finally, was harmful to the women’s movement in Canada?
Résumé
Cet article est plus politique que juridique. En utilisant les approches identifiées par les institutions féministes, il se penche sur les interactions entre le Conseil consultatif canadien sur la situation de la femme (CCCSF) et le gouvernement du Canada durant la crise constitutionnelle de 1980-1981. Comment les institutions marquées par la différenciation des sexes du gouvernement fédéral ont-elles facilité un récit qui était, en fin de compte, nuisible au mouvement féministe au Canada?
