The Other End of the WorldMaryse Pagé
The summer she turns 17, Mira answers a classified ad and becomes the driver for Marguerite, a rather uninhibited woman in her sixties. From Abitibi to Gaspésie, the two women travel in a yellow Beetle, accompanied by Flo, the French bulldog.
Still grieving her mother, not to mention Justin, her boyfriend who is much too present despite the distance, how will Mira survive the summer? Why does Marguerite need to go to Cap-des-Rosiers? And what about these small thefts committed by this not-so-mature senior? As a gentle complicity develops between them, small and big secrets are revealed.
An intergenerational road trip infused with feminism, complemented by good music, licorice, and beef jerky.

Heart-Wrenching: Reflections on Girls and Love in FictionIndia Desjardins
Illustrations : La Charbonne
How do we talk about girls? Can the image we reflect back to them influence how they see themselves?
Through an analysis of fictional heroines, romantic relationships, toys, video games, and colors, this essay explores representations of femininity in popular culture.In an era where misogyny is gaining ground even in schoolyards, it becomes necessary to question: what role do stereotypes play in all this? And what happens when whatever is associated with girls is constantly ridiculed, minimized, or devalued?
Guided by the reflections of great thinkers, from Virginia Woolf to Taylor Swift to bell hooks, India Desjardins invites us, with humor and sensitivity, to see the world differently and to actively take part in it.
