Illustrations for the book Fierce: Women Who Shaped Canada by award winning author Lisa Dalrymple.
Celebrate the accomplishments and heroics of the overlooked heroes of Canadian history, with inspiring tales of ten women who contributed to our country’s legacy, and whose stories have not been told…until now!
Often relegated to the sidelines of history, the women highlighted in this book performed feats that most people would never dream of. Women like Marguerite de la Roque, Ttha’naltther, Victoria Cheung and Lucile Hunter. You may not know their names now, but after reading their stories, you won’t soon forget them.
