This is the tale of the Raging Grannies. Their beginning and growth, the invention of their identity, the educational and daring potential of their activism, the values expressed in their actions and songs, and their impact on issues, stereotypes, media and people.
At a time when environmental destruction and war threatened, when the growing chasm between poor and rich endangered justice, a group of women stood up with courageous irreverence to denounce government lies, corporate greed and short-sightedness. In the process, these women created a new cultural figure that challenged authority, as well as stereotypes of older women.
The Grannies' distinctive approach is surprisingly popu-lar and effective: in 16 years, more than 50 groups of Raging Grannies exist across Canada, in the United States, and as far away as the U.K., Australia and Greece (Greek Grannies call themselves Furies). Their popularity reveals the desire of older women to claim their space on the poli-tical scene, a noteworthy achievement given the invisibility elder women facein our society.
"The Raging Grannies "both records and celebrates this vibrant activism.
