Original Toronto Star caption: It's all for Women's Lib; say 18-year-old Bev Wooton (left) and 17-year-old Lorrie Wilson as they hammer and chip away at a huge pile of bricks on demolition site of Bay St. wing of St. Michael's College. The two future art students get paid 1 1/2 cents for each brick the clean and salvage; and match their co-workers (those guys; they call them) brick for brick.
