Review
"(Emily) Stowe is among those feted in Merna Forster's 100 Canadian Heroines... (Dundurn, 2004) a timely read on the eve of International Women's Day (March 8)."
(Homemaker's Magazine 2006)
"This a terrific book--the rare reference title that should be read cover to cover. Every aspect inspires, beginning with the foreword by Kim Campbell (Canada's first woman prime minister) and continuing with the author's introduction and the sketches of 100 women who left their mark on Canadian history. This should be part of every women's studies curriculum." (P.P. Philbin CHOICE 20050102)

"Whether used as a reference book or for bedside reading, this is a convenient compendium of information on Canadian women, and a tribute not only to the individuals who made the cut but also to a generation of scholarly research that has restored the lives of these women worthies to the historical record."

Canada's Other Pioneers,
By Heather Robinson (Moncton, New Brunswick) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Canadian Heroines: Famous and Forgotten Faces (Paperback)
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.
