Who was Vic Stein? A man who enjoyed a pint of beer at the rugby match? A young woman who…
worked behind the counter at a local department store? A seamstress in a sweatshop? Yes - she could be any and all of these characters, depending on the story she was chasing for her popular column in the Toronto News. Over 100 years ago, Vic Stein was one of the New Women, a Bachelor Girl who pursued a career in investigative journalism - hardly the type of lifestyle for an upper-middle class young lady. But she had to be stealthy, secretive, and cunning if she wanted her scoop. There are many details we do not know about this secretive and feisty journalist - we don't even know her real name! - but one thing we know for sure: Vic Steinberg would be laughing if she knew that decades after her death, people are still wondering about her and trying to solve the puzzle that was her life. Grades 3-6. 2012.

"Certaines chansons de Gilles Vigneault témoignent dune quête spirituelle profonde. Intrigué, le journaliste Pierre Maisonneuve la rencontré pendant plusieurs heures…
afin de comprendre comment ce dernier avait, dans la tourmente du dernier demi-siècle, gardé en lui la foi héritée de ceux et celles qui lont précédé. En résulte un dialogue surprenant, dans lequel le grand poète nous révèle avec franchise et pudeur le pays intérieur qui lhabite. Fidèle à ceux qui lont précédé, à ceux qui lont instruit, Vigneault ne renie rien de son passé, il assume son présent et anticipe son avenir. Il décrit et nous dévoile les principales étapes de son existence : vie simple à Natashquan, univers culturel exceptionnel de son alma mater à Rimouski, découverte de Québec et ensuite du monde. Il conserve intactes des valeurs acquises aux jours de la grande noirceur, comme on a baptisé lavant-Révolution tranquille québécoise. Gilles Vigneault poursuitsa longue marche sur les chemins de pied tracés parles anciens. " -- 4e de couv.

This timely and relevant collection of fascinating stories about groundbreaking Canadian women, present and past, offers an inspiring, one-of-a-kind look…
at Canadian history. Canadian women have long been trailblazers, creating art, making discoveries and setting records --- and often battling incredible odds and discrimination in the process. Here, award-winning children's writer Elizabeth MacLeod presents biographies of more than one hundred of these remarkable women, from the famous, such as Margaret Atwood, to the lesser known, such as multi-award-winning mathematician Karen Yeats. There are stories of activists and architects, engineers and explorers, poets and politicians and so many more. Each category pairs a historical groundbreaker with a present-day woman making her mark in that same field. Included are stories of Indigenous women, immigrants, women with disabilities and women from the LGBTQ+ community. Together, they tell the story of Canada. And together they offer a vision of what's possible, to inspire all children to blaze trails of their own. This unique look at Canadian history is engagingly written with a storyteller's touch, making this a book that will be read for both research and pleasure. Organized by profession, it includes women in science, the arts, sports, politics, activism, law, business and more. The clean, modern design, along with the color portraits of each woman by Maia Faddoul, make the pages accessible and inviting. This excellent resource for social studies lessons also contains a time line of significant dates in Canadian women's history, a list of author's sources, further resources and an index.
