This review is from: Her Story: Women from Canada's Past (Paperback)

Susan E Merritt's easy-to-read, yet fact-filled book holds a wealth of pleasurable reading about women in Canada. Ms. Merrit relates the stories of 16 women from Canada's past, and allows us to share their lives for a brief moment. These are women with varied lives. Their stories range from tragic to triumphant, but each one leaves us with a sense of wonderment at courage displayed and obstacles overcome.

The graphics add greatly to the book's enjoyment and Ms. Merritt's short biographies make for fascinating reading. "Her Story" was The Canadian Children's Book Centre Choice and is rated as Juvenile Literature, but the stories are so engrossing and so fact-filled that they can be enjoyed by anyone of any age.
