In Her Glory is Marian Frances White’s homage to her mother, Florence. This story-driven poetic journey reveals the grit, resiliency and resourcefulness of a woman who raised 12 children through the early years of Confederation. In Her Glory explores White’s younger years growing up in Carbonear, Newfoundland with the underlying premise that women who raised huge families are our unsung heroines. Within these pages, White celebrates her mother’s contribution to our culture and world, giving Florence a voice while finding her own.

Marian Frances White has spent her creative life telling women’s stories as an author, filmmaker, poet, biographer and journalist. Perhaps White’s most feminist act was producing a women’s newspaper, Waterlily, and publishing ten editions of A Woman’s Almanac.
