This book contains a historical record and transcription of the proceedings and speeches surrounding the formation of the Women's Canadian Historical Society of Toronto in the 19th century. Beginning with a resolution passed by the Provincial and Pioneer Association of Ontario, this book describes the efforts of women such as Miss Mary Agnes FitzGibbon and Mrs. S.A. Curzon in the founding of the society, despite a lack of initial support and recognition. Also included is a record of speeches and a selection of papers presented at inaugural meetings.
