In Mona Gleason and Adele Perry, eds., Rethinking Canada (Toronto: Oxford University Press2010), 32-34.

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Rethinking Canada is a collection of essays on the diverse lives, struggles, and contributions of women in Canadian history. Now in its sixth edition, this trusted text includes articles spanning from the 1600s to the present day. Eighteen new essays offer increased coverage of indigenous,
immigrant, and racialized experiences; work and labour; sexuality and the body; religion and spirituality; politics; and shifts in regional analysis. Recent scholarship and fresh editorial commentaries combine to create an invaluable introduction not only to Canadian women’s history, but also to the study of Canadian history as a whole.
