Description

The Do-Gooders, a rich source of information on the history of women in Calgary and Canada, focuses on the Calgary Local Council of Women. In the first half of the book, with an engaging narrative, Lillian MacLennan captures the concerns and actions of the Council (1900-1997). Marjorie Barron Norris takes the helm in the second half, which is an appendix of important supporting documents, such as committee reports, tributes to some of the women, and information on affiliate and member organizations. The entire book, an essential resource, sheds light on an organization that continues to affect us years later.
