Summary:First-wave feminist, activist, and social reformer, Nellie McClung ranked as one of the most popular Canadian authors and among the liveliest critics of Canada's male-dominated society. Well ahead of her time, McClung was known as a writer who dared to discuss taboo topics, and for her inimitable humour, which rivals that of Stephen Leacock. This selection of her best short fiction includes depictions of difficult rural living conditions in Western Canada as well as "consciousness-raising" stories reflecting the undue restrictions on women and the anti-female laws and attitudes of her day

Review by Library Journal Review

Though not well known in the United States, McClung (1873-1951) was one of Canada's early feminist writers. In this collection of short stories she uses humor as one weapon against the male-dominated attitudes of the day. (c) Copyright 2010.
