Spanning the period from the Massey Commission to the present and
reflecting on the media of print, film, and song, this study
attends to the burgeoning energy of women writers across genres. It
explores how their work interprets our national story. The
questioning, disruptive feminist practice of their fiction,
filmmaking, poetry, song-writing, drama, and non-fiction reveals
the tensions of colonial society at the same time as it transforms
cultural life in Canada. Women's Writing in Canada resurrects
foremothers who were active before and after the mid-century -
Ethel Wilson, Gabrielle Roy, Gwen Pharis Ringwood, Dorothy Livesay,
and P.K. Page - as well as such forgotten writers as Grace Irwin,
Patricia Blondal, and Edna Jaques. Its breadth extends to the
contemporary voices and influences of novelists Tracey Lindberg and
Heather O'Neill, poets Marilyn Dumont and Leanne Betasamosake
Simpson, playwrights Hannah Moscovitch and Anna Chatterton, and
filmmakers Sarah Polley and Mina Shum. Writing for children as well
as memoirs, autobiographies, comic books, and cookbooks illustrate
the wide and impressive range of women's talents.
