Description
Golden Threads acknowledges, in a variety of genres, the intimate link between women, the University of Calgary, the Calgary community, and the landscapes we share. For the first time in their own voice, we hear women’s stories anchored in the University and the city’s past, and continuing through to the present. They explore the legacy of women who were fundamental in the development of a sense of place and community, both on and off campus. Their contributions to community is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.
To read this book, lovingly compiled in celebration of the history of the Faculty Women’s Club, is to share in a full spectrum of the lives of women. The stories of the women, who have in common an affiliation with the University of Calgary and the city of Calgary, represent the issues and experiences of Canadian women broadly over the past fifty years and remind us of how women embrace their challenges, value one another, accomplish their mutual goals together, and live joyfully.
