Sommario/riassunto

"This is a much needed biography! Peter Campbell creatively guides us through the life of a woman who left behind no personal papers, diaries or letters. It is a wonderful feat, and makes significant contributions to the history of Canada, women's studies, and Left history"." "Andree Levesque, Department of History, McGill University"--Jacket.
