Canada's Other Pioneers

On behalf of Canada's foremothers and future daughters ... thank you! It's about time that someone researched and documented the history of Canadian women. Merna Forster weaves together a beautiful tapestry of courageous, fiesty and determined women who paved the way for all of us. Three pages per heroine ... just enough to give you a taste of her life, and wanting more. When I have children someday, I will read these profiles to them ... so they will learn about Canada's "other" pioneers ... Canada's heroines.
