Acknowledgements
I’d like to express my appreciation to everyone who contributed to this book.
To my husband Glen Purdy and sons Gavin and Lawren, thanks for providing input throughout the production of this publication, managing the household in my absence, and cheering me on. Glen spent countless hours scanning and printing historical images, burning CDs, removing a nasty computer virus, and coming to the rescue whenever technology threatened the project!
I’d like to extend a special thanks to journalist Angela Mangiacasale, who kindly volunteered to edit my manuscript and devoted her considerable expertise to the task. To Dr. John Lutz (University of Victoria history professor), I owe a big thanks for reviewing texts depicting Aboriginal women and British Columbians. Both reviewers provided very helpful comments and corrections. Any errors are my own.
Thanks to the many readers who encouraged me to write a second volume about Canadian heroines, and also offered suggestions of women to be featured. I greatly appreciated the ideas and material sent to me, and regret that I wasn’t able to include everyone and everything. Many archivists, historians, authors, researchers, artists, and relatives of women featured in this book also provided material that enriched the final product.
I would particularly like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their assistance: Trevor Bennett; Leigh Beauchamp Day; Marjory Hind; Brandy Dunnebacke, Kristin Schachtel and Sally Passey (Fort Steele); Seema Ahluwalia; Amy Bowring (Dance Collection Danse); Dr. Michael S.
