Sinossi

Since 1942, when the federal government began to recruit women into the war effort, more and more women have moved into salaried jobs, generating a historical shift that has been called "the greatest change since the industrial Revolution."

Until now, this invasion of male territory has never been documented as a whole, or in the words of women themselves. Judith Finlayson travelled across Canada from the Gulf Islands in British Columbia to Newfoundland, and as far north as Yellowknife, interviewing two hundred women in their twenties to their nineties, and presents their stories--some uplifting, some heartbreaking--in their own words.

Recensione

"...a history of determination, talent and success."
-London Free Press

"While I was delighted to read of the incredible careers of the women in this book, I was incensed at the obstacles put in their way.  This book is clear proof of what still remains to be done to remove the barriers to their achievements."
-The Right Hon. Kim Campbell

"...history at its most compelling."
-City Women
