Chapitre 14. Les libertés possibles : la reconnaissance du féminisme dans Mainmise

Mainmise, 1970

“…These readers saw themselves reflected in the counter-cultural references and reprinted content of the magazine. Although some content addressed feminist concerns, 21 an often-cited survey shows that 68% of the readership of the magazine self-identified as male, half were under 24 and the vast majority under 33, 18% self-identified as "homosexual," and another 8% indicated they were interested in "multidimensional" sexualities. 22 Mainmise is recognized as an important catalyst for the lesbian and gay liberation movement in Québec, specifically as several founding members of the shortlived Front de libération homosexuelle (FLH) were associated with the magazine.…”
