Anne Bishop has been a social justice activist for five decades. She made her living doing adult education, group facilitation, research, writing and editing with a particular passion is teaching equity and community leadership. Anne co-authored four books on adult education, one on the Canadian food system and a course for grassroots community leaders. Her book Becoming an Ally has sold more than 40,000 copies worldwide. The fourth edition was published in October 2025. She is also the author of Beyond Token Change and a novel, Under the Bridge. Anne and her partner recently retired from farming sheep. She is passionate about spinning and knitting wool. 

When the first edition of Becoming an Ally was published in 1994, the idea was new. Thirty years later, it is everywhere – embraced, rejected and interpreted in many different ways. The first three editions of this book were part of that history. It has sold more than 50,000 copies in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the US and and the UK. In this new edition, the author has built on the previous three editions, but also started fresh, writing an accessible guide to what structural oppression is, where it came from and how it spread.  What will it take to transform our world society into one that provides the resources and support required for everyone to thrive? And within that, what is the role of allies?
