Description
- DescriptionThis selection of writings by 29 women, kwn and unkwn, 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 goverrs 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 caeing, and a German general's wife describes habitant customs. All demonstrate how women's experiences t only shared, but helped shape this new country.
