Mighty Women profiles thirty-two women pioneers who made their mark on western Canada: feisty Mother Fulham, Calgary's indomitable keeper of pigs; Emily Carr, the great artist and writer; and Marie-Anne Lagimodiere, a grandmother of Louis Riel and a courageous adventurer in her own right—just to mention a few.
Part of the Grant McEwan Library, this book salutes the women, past and present, whose determination, sense of humour and tenacity made western Canada what it is today.
