she/her
Barbara Stowe (she/her) was raised by impassioned activists, Greenpeace co‐founders Irving and Dorothy Stowe. In 1970, when she was a young teenager, Barbara's family home morphed into Ground Zero for Greenpeace’s first campaign. Now a BC‐based writer, Barbara continues to sometimes engage in activism, as in 2018, when she and her brother Bob were arrested — along with scores of others — for peaceful civil disobedience against the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project in Burnaby, BC.
