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 fisherman’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 children’s writer writes home about the fun of
canoeing, and a German general’s wife describes habitant customs.
All demonstrate how women’s experiences not only shared, but
helped shape this new country.
