Influential journal of feminist theory and innovative writing now available online open access

The late Professor Barbara Godard of York University, elected to the Order of Canada in 2010, left the feminist scholarly community with an outstanding parting gift.

As one of the founding editors, Professor Godard secured the approval and the means to enable all 21 years of Tessera to be available online without access restrictions.

Tessera is an influential scholarly journal which published feminist theory and innovative writing by Canadian and Quebecois women. Some of the nation's most important feminist writers were published by the journal, including Nicole Brossard, Louky Bersianik, Louise Cotnoir, Linda Hutcheon, Daphne Marlatt and Marlene Nourbese Philip among others.

Tessera is hosted by the York University Libraries using Open Journal Systems software.
