Raging Grannies  

Definition

  • The Raging Grannies formed in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1987. Galvanized into action by the nuclear arms race and visits to a local military base by U.S. nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable warships and submarines, they sought to express their outrage at nuclear risks to health and environment and their deep desire for peace.
