The Montreal Massacre was likely Canada's single worst act of violence against women.

For 45 minutes on Dec. 6, 1989 an enraged gunman roamed the corridors of Montreal's École Polytechnique and killed 14 women. Marc Lepine, 25, separated the men from the women and before opening fire on the classroom of female engineering students he screamed, "I hate feminists." Almost immediately, the Montreal Massacre became a galvanizing moment in which mourning turned into outrage about all violence against women.

I'd like to have the piece in rememberance of these women, and also in turn, all women who have suffered through violence. I intend on donating all of the money I make from this to centres for abused women around Toronto. I haven't decided on which one yet though.
