A measure of feminism is introduced, and a case is made for the acceptability of its levels of reliability, criterion-related, content, construct and discriminant-validity. Feminism is shown to be related to such features of the quality of life as happiness and being a good person. Survey results are reported from a sample of 431 members of the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women and 413 undergraduate women from the University of Guelph.

This article discusses militarism and the quality of life in the Canadian and U.S. arms industry.

Following this, the Canadian federal government expenditures is reviewed in general for the period from 1974 to 1986. A summary of information on the Canadian arms industry, including production and export figures is also provided.
