Fonds F2662 - Women's Centre at Queen's fonds

The Women's Centre was founded in 1975 as a centre for information, a referral service, and a women-only space for women from both Queen's and the greater Kingston community. It was home to the woman's resource library and the Kingston Women's Movement archives, both of which are still located in the Grey House and operated through the Levana Gender Advocacy Centre. In the summer of 2010, the Centre began to work towards revival and upheaval. The Women's Centre needed increased inclusivity, a more radical and political voice, and to start engaging with issues previously deemed peripheral to the feminist cause. The Levana Gender Advocacy Centre was created from these changes in 2011.
