Meg Pirie is a freelance writer in London, Ontario. Her work has been published in a number of local publications, along with forthcoming articles in two academic texts that deal with feminist filmmaking. Over time, Meg’s varied and bizarre employment experiences
led to a keen interest in the many issues concerning labour and is the primary focus of her Shameless column. You can expect to also find commentary on adolescence, feminist health issues, and young adult literature. Meg holds a Master’s in Media Studies from the University of Western Ontario. In her free time, she plays with her dog Layla and reads about public transit.
