Customer Reviews

This selection of writings by 29 women, known and unknown, professional and amateur, presents a unique portrait of Canada through time and space, from the 17th to the early 20th century, from the Maritimes to British Columbia and the Far North. There is a range of voices from high-born wives of governors general, to an Icelandic immigrant and a fishermanâ€™s wife in Labrador. A Loyalist wife and mother describes the first hard weather in New Brunswick, a seasick nun tells of a dangerous voyage out from France, a famous childrenâ€™s writer writes home about the fun of canoeing, and a German generalâ€™s wife describes habitant customs. All demonstrate how womenâ€™s experiences not only shared, but helped shape this new country.
