Review:
The Montreal Massacre is a translation of essays, letters to editors, and poetry about the impact of the deaths of fourteen women engineering students, murdered by a gun-wielding man out to kill "feminists." In words both tender and scathing, its writers struggle to place the killings in their social context. Working to make the connections between personal grief and political action, the writings include a critique of the media, who for the most part reduced the tragedy to the isolated work of a "madman:" "If this is madness, never has it been so lucid...Never has madness left such a clear message." Another author addresses the way in which all misogyny has become "medicalized" and crimes such as rape, wife-abuse and incest viewed as "diseases" of individuals versus a reflection of society in general: "The real nature... is camouflaged, and the attackers appear to be the victims." Still others speak of the general reluctance to recognize the shootings as part of a larger framework: "Crimes against women have no history. This history, swept aside, wiped out, has only begun to be written." The Montreal Massacre articulates the shock, rage, and sadness that many women have felt since that day in early December 1989. It addresses the silences that exist for both women and men, which allow such acts to be treated as non-political ("Have we ever questioned that Hitler was a politician because he was mad?" one writer asks) and gives voice to those urgently speaking for change. -- For great reviews of books for girls, check out Let's Hear It for the Girls: 375 Great Books for Readers 2-14. -- From 500 Great Books by Women; review by Sonja Larsen
