When Ann Hansen was arrested in 1983 along with the four other members of the radical anarchist group known as the Squamish Five, her long-time commitment to prison abolition suddenly became much more personal.

The bonds and experiences Hansen shared with other imprisoned women only strengthened her resolve to fight this insidious system. 

Her new memoir Taking the Rap: Women Doing Time for Society's Crimes is a firsthand account of the brutal effects of imprisonment on women’s lives. She shares gripping stories of women caught in a system that treats them as disposable. The stories are heartbreaking and enraging. They also make a compelling case for prison abolition.

Taking the Rap reveals the injustices heaped on women as a result of social, economic, and legal systems that privilege those in power, particularly the "male, pale, and stale” crowd. Her passionate alliance with the women whose struggles she shares provides readers with a rare vantage point from which to examine the impoverishment of a legal system that is too often devoid of justice.”

– Sen. Kim Pate, former executive director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies
