One of this country's first generation of professional women, she championed the cause of child welfare across the country and worked hard for the status of women long before the word 'feminism' had passed into everyday language. What the authors show, however, in this biography is that Whitton does not fit comfortably into contemporary notions of the liberated woman. In spite of her progressive attitudes, she was also capable of vindictiveness, intolerance, and contempt for the 'undeserving.'Women social reformersCanadaBiographyFeministsCanadaBiographyMayorsOntarioOttawaBiographyOttawa (Ont.)BiographyWomen social reformersFeministsMayors971.3/84Rooke Patricia T1526591Schnell Rodolph Leslie1526592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780549003321No bleeding heart3768750UNINA
