She is the woman who has quarreled in the depths of pain and grief and finds her way back home to herself. She is the woman who says "no" to what does not serve her. She is the woman who says "enough is enough", and commits to a new way of living. She is the woman who finds the strength to leave toxic relationships. She is the woman who knows unconditional love. She is the woman who takes the lead and lights the torch. She is the woman who refuses to accept the limits that someone else placed before her. She is the woman who knocks down doors, and shatters glass ceilings. She is the woman who finds a way out of no way then turns around, extends her hand, and brings as many people as she can along with her.

Along a River by Jan Noel Pdf

French-Canadian explorers, traders, and soldiers feature prominently in this country's storytelling, but little has been written about their female counterparts. In Along a River, award-winning historian Jan Noel shines a light on the lives of remarkable French-Canadian women — immigrant brides, nuns, tradeswomen, farmers, governors' wives, and even smugglers — during the period between the settlement of the St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Victorian era. Along a River builds the case that inside the cabins that stretched for miles along the shoreline, most early French-Canadian women retained old fashioned forms of economic production and customary rights over land ownership. Noel demonstrates how this continued even as the world changed around them by comparing their lives to those of their contemporaries in France, England, and New England.Exploring how the daughters and granddaughters of the filles du roi adapted to their terrain, turned their hands to trade, and even acquired surprising influence at the French court, Along a River is an innovative and engagingly written history.

The Strength of Women by Priscilla Settee Pdf

Women are the unsung heroes of their communities, often using minimal resources to challenge oppressive structures and create powerful alternatives in the arts, education, and the workplace. The stories included here are by women with vision, who inspire and lead those who have lived in their midst. Stories are a means of transmitting vital information from within community as well as to outside communities. Relations are something fundamental to Indigenous communities the world over. Besides human relationships, there is a bigger set of relationships that keeps some people marginalized and others in positions of power. This book tells the stories of both sets of relationships. Some women tell powerful personal stories and others describe institutional relationships that keep Indigenous women in Canada – along with women generally, people of colour, indigenous peoples and youth around the world – in the margins. In both cases, the clarity of vision that comes from the margins is astounding and compelling.

The Promise of Canada by Charlotte Gray Pdf

What does it mean to be a Canadian? What great ideas have changed our country? An award-winning writer casts her eye over our nation’s history, highlighting some of our most important stories. From the acclaimed historian Charlotte Gray comes a richly rewarding book about what it means to be Canadian. Readers already know Gray as an award-winning biographer, a writer who has brilliantly captured significant individuals and dramatic moments in our history. Now, in The Promise of Canada, she weaves together masterful portraits of nine influential Canadians, creating a unique history of our country. What do these people—from George-Étienne Cartier and Emily Carr to Tommy Douglas, Margaret Atwood, and Elijah Harper—have in common? Each, according to Charlotte Gray, has left an indelible mark on Canada. Deliberately avoiding a top-down approach to history, Gray has chosen Canadians—some well-known, others less so—whose ideas, she argues, have become part of our collective conversation about who we are as a people. She also highlights many other Canadians from all walks of life who have added to the ongoing debate, showing how our country has reinvented itself in every generation since Confederation, while at the same time holding to certain central beliefs. Beautifully illustrated with evocative black-and-white historical images and colorful artistic visions, and written in an engaging style, The Promise of Canada is a fresh, thoughtful, and inspiring view of our historical journey. Opening doors into our past, present, and future with this masterful work, Charlotte Gray makes Canada’s history come alive and challenges us to envision the country we want to live in.

A Woman in Canada by Marion Dudley Cran Pdf

Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... the prongs of his pitchfork, and there he passes from one prize-winner to another, telling me how each one has her different feed--this one is going to beef and so is on bran, which does not make fat and gives a good yield of milk; this one has oats chopped and flaxmeal and middlings, she needs building up; this one is off her feed and is therefore in disgrace, having her milk tested by Dr. Charlton the bacteriologist to fix the trouble. We look at the sturdy calves, nineteen of them all born in the purple, and he strokes their backs, fluffy with the coming winter coats. At a wary distance I admire the great bull, and suffer with what dignity I can his evident dislike of me. Cornelius Zoon pats him familiarly, and says he is annoyed because he "hasn't seen anything like you before." The kindly Board of Trade official, who has driven me over to the farm, explains this hard saying. "He means that women hardly ever come here," that's all! The herd tells me of the crops--how they grow alfalfa for the calves, but do not grow hay; instead they cut the "prairie wool" (the native grass) and stack it, it is just as good as grown hay. His daily programme of average food in that byre reads like a fairy tale, in my ignorance I never guessed cows could eat so much. At 4 a.m. he gives them their first meal of bran or chop; at 6.20 an oatsheaf each; at 7.30 water; at 10 another oatsheaf; at noon more water; at 1 he gives them hay; at 4 p.m. chop; at 5.30 sheaf; at 6.30 water; at 7 hay again, and twice a week a little salt! All the while this big Dutchman is working towards ultimate independence. That is the glory of work in Canada. It has such rewards. He tells me of his half-section (320 acres), half of which he has...
