It integrates the history of women, Indigenous people, Atlantic Canada, and the West into a dozen well-conceived chapters that make an old story (the one built around Ontario and Quebec men) new again. I recommend it wholeheartedly.' Gerald Friesen, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Manitoba

Hinther, Associate Professor of History, Brandon University
