Recenzii
"The text is laced with stirring descriptions." "Readers of 100 Canadian heroines will find feminism, despair, joy, and plenty of substantial worthies throughout the volume."
Merna Foster's new book, 100 Canadian Heroines, gives a quick and easy introductory education on the subject of Canadian women's history. A book of encyclopedic biographical references, Heroines is fresh and informative even to the seasoned feminist reader...
This is a book of rich achievements, but more, it is a storytelling book about great characters...Cross-dressing doctors, physicists, actors, Mohawk leaders - you name it, our foremothers are all of these - and more."
