She decided to change things from inside the government too, becoming the first woman to lead a political party in Canada. And although Thérèse may not have been elected, her decades-long fight for equal rights, health care, and world peace is in itself a victory.Written by award-winning author Elizabeth MacLeod, this portrait of Thérèse Casgrain couples simple yet compelling writing with comic-flavoured illustrations by Mike Deas that help bring this fascinating story to life!Carry On: Poetry by Young Immigrants

Par Pierre Caron. 2011
"L'histoire de Saint-Laurent-de-l'Ile-d'Orléans est d'abord marquée par la guerre de la Conquête, car c'est là que le général Wolfe installa…
son quartier général à l'été de 1759 en vue d'attaquer Québec en septembre. Heureusement cependant, le village sut s'illustrer bien autrement en devenant le haut lieu des chantiers maritimes de l'île. On y construisit d'abord des barques - près de 400 par année - permettant de communiquer avec la terre ferme. Bien adaptées à leur usage, et entraînées par la force du courant lorsque se retirait la marée, elles permettaient de rallier Québec en une heure seulement et d'en revenir sans effort aucun [...]. Mêlant descriptions historiques, anecdotes peu connues et impressions personnelles, ces textes superbes constituent un témoignage vivant sur la valeur de notre patrimoine; un accord parfait entre l'histoire d'un individu et l'Histoire d'une nation." -- 4e de couvWhat my girlfriend doesn't know

Par Laure Adler. 2006
[...] Les artistes de toutes les époques ont représenté des femmes en train de lire. Pourtant, il aura fallu des…
siècles avant qu'il soit accordé aux femmes de lire à leur guise. Ce qui leur incombait d'abord, c'était de broder, de prier, de s'occuper des enfants et de cuisiner. Dès l'instant où elles envisagent la lecture comme une possibilité de troquer l'étroitesse du monde domestique contre l'espace illimité de la pensée, de l'imagination, mais aussi du savoir, les femmes deviennent dangereuses. En lisant, elles s'approprient des connaissances et des expériences auxquelles la société ne les avait pas prédestinées. C'est ce chapitre captivant de l'histoire de la lecture féminine que Laure Adler et Stefan Bollmann explorent, avec un soin particulier du détail. Le fil de l'analyse conduit du Moyen Âge au temps présent, en s'attachant plus spécialement à certaines oeuvres de Rembrandt, Vermeer, mais aussi Manet, Matisse ou Hopper, jusqu'à la fameuse photographie d'Eve Arnold montrant Marilyn Monroe en train de lire Ulysse de James Joyce.
