For Home and Country

For Home and Country dramatizes the generational conflict created by the rise of an urban and radicalized feminist agenda in the latter part of the 20th century and its head-on collision with its much more conservative, rural roots in the Women's Institute, founded in Stoney Creek, Ontario in 1897. It is also Leanna Brodie's homage to the techniques of Canadian populist theatre--grounded in the work of Theatre Passe Muraille--and its ability to tell stories about the power and dignity of ordinary lives that had not previously been considered capable or worthy of being told.Leanna Brodie is the author of 'For Home and Country', published 2004 under ISBN 9780889225084 and ISBN 0889225087.
