Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
Canadian women have always been groundbreakers. They have made scientific discoveries, set sports records, challenged discrimination and so much more. In this unique look at Canadian history, award-winning children's writer Elizabeth MacLeod juxtaposes today's inspiring women with yesterday's trailblazers who paved the way in that field. The book is organized by profession and includes more than 100 women from science, the arts, sports, politics, activism, law, business and more. The selection of women reflects the country's diversity, with stories of women of colour, Indigenous women, Paralympians and women from the LGBTQ+ community.
