About this Item
vi, 203 p. 21 cm. Orange cloth with gold lettering has faded spine and partially faded front. Some soiling on front board, a little wear to spine and corners, faint spotting to rear. Ink inscription on front free endpaper: "Presented to Shirley Paine As an Acknowledgement of Merit and as a Reward of Attainment in the Final Inter-County Public Speaking Contest Chatham District Trustees and Ratepayers Association February 24, 1945." The authors discuss Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale, Laura Secord, Catharine Parr Trail, Helen Keller, Edith Cavell, Pauline Johnson and others. Some of these women are less well known today, such as Ada May Courtice, founder of the Home and School movement, and Margaret Polson Murray, founder of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. Montgomery, by far the best known of the three authors, produced the chapters on Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale and Mary Slessor, but she was not particularly interested in this type of writing, preferring to spend time producing fiction.
