I just learned of Lanie's death by reading yesterday's Globe. Glad to see they published a long piece about her life. Lanie was a Montreal Ragging Granny, breast cancer activist, peace activist, social worker, and teacher. In case all that doesn't tip you off, she was a great feminist as well.
This is quite old news since she passed away more than two months ago. I barely knew her, but everyday we are losing inspirational feminists like her, so I thought she deserves recognition here on babble.
Raging Granny was a feisty activist
