Kate Rice: Prospector

By Helen Duncan

Book Overview

Kathleen Rice was an inspiring woman who lived ahead of her time. Born in St Marys, Ontario, she graduated as a gold medallist in Mathematics at the University of Toronto in 1906. After a conventional beginning teaching school in Ontario and Saskatchewan, Kate broke free of the mold, searching for new frontiers as a prospector in Manitoba during the gold rush. She formed a partnership with Dick Woosey and began a life in the remote areas around Herb Lake, prospecting and trapping. After Woosey's death, Kate faced her final and most difficult challenge -- living alone in the wildness of the north.
