Canadian Scholars & Women'S Press

Canadian Scholars was founded in 1986 and is one of Canada's leading independent academic publishing companies. We remain one of a small number of firms publishing textbooks, scholarly works, and general interest. Women’s Press, Canada’s oldest English-language feminist publisher, was founded under collective ownership in 1972. It became an imprint of Canadian Scholars in 2000. Our academic publishing program creates books that make a genuine and lasting contribution to the evolution of a wide variety of disciplines. We seek to foreground the work of leading Canadian scholars as well as up-and-coming academics, always paying special attention to editorial detail and quality of presentation. We are committed to maintaining our reputation for excellence in scholarship, research, and education, and we are proud to be celebrating 30 years of publishing.
