Once Upon a Wedding
"Find out about the west's first society weddings, mail order brides, honeymoon trips from hell, no honeymoons at all, wedding dresses from the catalogue, double weddings, wartime weddings, picture brides and grooms, happy-ever-after endings and perfectly horrible endings. It's a history book that doesn't sound like a history book. A pleasurable way of learning more about Canada between 1860 and 1945."--
Extraordinary Women Explorers
A thirst for adventure, a deep desire to push themselves beyond their comfort zones, and an innate curiosity about the world and its peoples drive the biographies of the ten women explorers profiled here. As explorers they bring skills in cartography, geography, history, anthropology, botany, photography, linguistics and writing to their travels. Their stories begin with Sacagawea, a Native guide in the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805, and end in the present, with Mattie McNair and Denise Martin, the Canadian leaders of Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. These are stories of women who dared to push beyond the safety of their own communities in order to live their dreams.
Translating Feminism
This edited book addresses the diversity across time and space of the sites, actors and practices of feminist translation from 1945-2000. The contributors examine what happens when a politically motivated text is translated linguistically and culturally, the translators and their aims, and the strategies employed when adapting texts to locally resonating discourses. The collection aims to answer these questions through case studies and a conceptual rethinking of the process of politically engaged translation, considering not only trained translators and publishers, but also feminist activists and groups, NGOs and writers. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of translation studies, gender/women's studies, literature and feminist history.
Changing Women, Changing History

Herstory 2014: the Canadian Women's Calendar
Across time - Across place - Across cultures: This is our Herstory. The calendar that has become an essential part of Canadian lives continues to do its double-duty, as a daybook and planner to organize our lives, and as a record of extraordinary Canadian women who have made those lives what they are today. Written, researched and thoroughly annotated by the Saskatoon Women's Calendar Collective and produced in full colour throughout, each week offers a profile of a Canadian woman and her contribution to the arts, society, professions or culture.
