More than a footnote : Canadian women you should know
Women are too often shut out of big conversations, imprisoned on pedestals, or told by themselves and others that they are not up to the job. Despite this, women throughout history have been presented with a locked door and looked for a key--or a battering ram. In More Than a Footnote , writer and broadcaster Karin Wells profiles some of the many remarkable and defiant women who charmed, finagled, and fought their way beyond barriers. Some were unassuming, some were outrageous, most were not polite, but they all ignored the voices that said women could not paddle a canoe, program a computer, be an astrophysicist, or cure a disease. They did it anyway--often at great cost--and they made a difference.
