Reviews

These are powerful stories of strong women who have helped to build our country, many who are truly unsung heroines. An inspirational read.

Historian Forster's 100 More Canadian Heroines is a welcome follow up to her acclaimed 100 Canadian Heroines ... attractively designed, inspirational and sadly, there is still a need to highlight the achievements of Canadian women... Highly recommended.
