Trent University celebrating its 60th birthday brings a time to look into the past to remember where our university started, and everyone who had a hand in making it what it is today. While reflecting on those who we remember, we should also remember the women of the Trent community who made many contributions throughout the university’s history. From principals to community advocates, there has always been a strong female spirit in Trent’s life.

Are you a clean girl? What about a green juice girl? Or maybe a messy girl? A downtown girl? Georgia Dunning explores the proliferation of micro-aesthetics targeting young women in her Lilith 2024 essay.

Community contributor Lindsay Blake examines the ways in which the feminist movement has historically privileged the positions of White women, and marginalized women of colour in this Lilith 2024 contribution.
