A best-selling anthology of original articles about the history of women in the Maritime Provinces. The traditional stereotypes surrounding Victorian womanhood are challenged by authors who tell us about farm women and black women, about women in classrooms, churches and factories, about women who struggled against family violence, defended their property rights, participated in public events and campaigned for social reform. Contributors include Rusty Bittermann, Gail Campbell, Janet Guildford, Phillip Girard, Rebecca Veinott, Hannah Lane, Bonnie Huskins, Suzanne Morton, Sharon Myers, Judith Fingard and Gwendolyn Davies.

Janet Guildford (Mount Saint Vincent University) and Suzanne Morton (McGill University) are Dalhousie University graduates who have played a leading part in regional studies and women’s history for many years. Their most recent collection is Making Up the State: Women in 20th-Century Atlantic Canada.
