Description:Short, lively biographies of 20 memorable women!We all know that there have been women in British Columbia since the early days, and they were not just ironing shirts and baking bread. They did those things, of course, but they also (often despite amazing opposition) organized unions, won elections and became judges, scientists, artists, school principals and doctors.Hannah Maynard, portrait photographer in the 1880s, cancer specialist Dr. Ethlyn Trapp, historian Margaret Ormsby and Native activist Rose Charlie are all part of BC's long tradition of energetic women. Mary Ellen Smith was the first woman cabinet minister in the British Empire; Agnes Dean Cameron shook up the education system; whale researcher Alexandra Morton is adding to our understanding of the coast.Frequently, the lives of these interesting women took unexpected turns - a pretty young debutante ended up as an important judge; a man's refusal to let his daughter marry her chose fiancé (yes, it could happen) sent the young woman on to a career of improving hygiene in BC; a girl born on a tea estate in Ceylon charted BC's highest mountains. They were flexible, saw what had to be done and "just did it," often changing in themselves as much as they changed their province.Cathy Converse writes frequently for BC Women and other magazines; she taught women's studies and criminology at Camosun College and was co-editor of In Her Own Right: Selected Essays on Women's History in BC.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
