Inspiring Women: A Celebration of Herstory
Edited by Mona Holmlund and Gail Youngberg. With a foreword by Margaret Atwood.
Drawn from the pages of Herstory: The Canadian Women's Calendar, this beautiful book is a celebration of 319 inspiring women.
In its nearly 30 years, Herstory has told us thousands of stories of women who have helped shape this country and the world. Now, Inspiring Women: A Celebration Of Herstory brings you expanded and updated versions of 319 of these illustrated "herstories" in an inviting coffee-table format.
Long-serving Saskatoon Women's Calendar Collective members Gail Youngberg (decd) and Mona Holmlund selected stories, conducted follow-up interviews and research, and recreated these moving accounts.
What I would like to say is this: Live fully every moment of your life. Do not wait for everything to be threatened before you realize the value of all you have.-- Jane Poulsen, 1998
Read about the achievements of Canadian women in chapters covering pioneers, politics, reform, access, achievement and culture.
