CANADIAN WOMEN NOW AND THEN

MORE THAN 100 STORIES OF FEARLESS TRAILBLAZERS

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH MACLEOD

ILLUSTRATED BY MAÏA FADDOUL

This collection of inspiring stories showcases the trailblazing Canadian women, past and present, who have made their marks on history. Each spread pairs a present-day trailblazer (Now) with a historical groundbreaker (Then) from the same field. Included are stories of Indigenous women, immigrants, women with disabilities and women from the LGBTQ+ community. Together, they tell the story of Canada. And together they offer a vision of what's possible to inspire kids today to blaze trails of their own.
