While attempting to capture the meaning of the ordinary lives of extraordinary women, it also explores the possibility of challenging, even subverting, the traditional view of life writing as an endeavour to 'summarize and fix in time the public careers of public men.' The fifteen essays represent a variety of alternative approaches to feminist biography, including chronology narrative, thematic exploration, multiple biography, conversations between biographer and subject, interviews, diaries, and even fictional accounts." "In selecting their subjects, from Mennonite refugee women to an Ojibwa ethnologist, the contributors were asked to consider women who would be unlikely candidates for longer biographies; in the course of their research, however, it became clear that the lives of at least two of the chosen subjects warranted book-length examination. The selection also attempts to address perceived gaps in regional, class, racial, and disciplinary representation in life writing."--Jacket. 606 $aWomen$zCanada$vBiography 607 $aCanada$vBiography 608 $aBiographies. 615 0$aWomen 676 $a920.720971 700 $aBrock$b Peter$0485308 702 $aCameron$b Elspeth$f1943- 702 $aMcGinnis$b Janice P.
