Abstract
Adopting a feminist approach to tax law and economic policy, The Taxation of Women in Canada demonstrates that the entire Canadian tax system assumes, reinforces, and contributes to women's poverty and overwork. Despite decades of tax reforms inspired by the Carter Commission Report in the 1960s and the systemic changes recommended in the 1987 White Paper on Tax Reform, women in Canada remain overworked, undercompensated, and overtaxed. This study examines the dimensions of women's poverty and overwork, links them with the overtaxation of women as a sex class, and criticizes tax "reforms" that do not treat women's social, economic, and legal status as a serious concern of tax policy.
