Summary:
A suffragist, a photographer, a writer, an opera singer, an advocate for veterans. Five remarkable women who pushed boundaries and made a difference at the turn of the twentieth century. But history then was about men, and no one wrote about these women. Their stories faded from memory and then disappeared for decades. Here, now, are those stories. Five mini-biographies detailing the ambition, intelligence, compassion, and grit they all shared. The obstacles they overcame, the tragedies they endured, the incredible success they achieved. Discover how Armine Gosling, Elsie Holloway, Lydia Campbell, Georgina Stirling, and May Furlong pressed against the social norms of a century ago and helped change life and attitudes in Newfoundland and Labrador.
