She stayed for twenty-one. The years covered by Monica Storrs's journal entries (1931-9) were at times unbearably hard, the depression compounding what was already a demanding existence. She and the group of women she lived with, the Companions of the Peace, were sent out as 'missionaries of empire.' As the journals progress, Storrs's droll British wit persists but her imperialistic attitude softens as her work draws her into the lives around her. Expanding on the initial mandate to start Sunday schools, foster contact with women, and perform church services, she became involved in assembling libraries, lending money for seed grain, financing medical assistance, and organizing theatrical performances and poetry contests. After her death even the non-British inhabitants of the Peace River district described her as 'one of us.'"--Jacket 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.) 606 $aPioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vDiaries 606 $aPioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vCorrespondence 606 $aWomen pioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vDiaries 606 $aWomen pioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vCorrespondence 607 $aPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aPersonal correspondence. 608 $aDiaries. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 615 0$aPioneers 615 0$aPioneers 615 0$aWomen pioneers 615 0$aWomen pioneers 676 $a971.18703092 700 $aStorrs$b Monica, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01615667 702 $aFast$b Vera K.$f1929- 702 $aKinnear$b Mary 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806969303321 996 $aCompanions of the Peace$93945971 997 $aUNINA
