Firstly, the book is published today and I’m writing the review on the day of publication, so I think there should be a netgalley badge for that — not writing the review way after the publication date or way before and then scheduling it to post. Maybe I’ll make one in Paint later today (gotta keep up the pressure) and post it.
So I read this little listicle of book celebrating (a) Canadian women and (b) 150 of them because of Canada 150. A little proviso in the opening credits about the problematic taking of one hundred and fifty as the “age” of Canada, then right on into the facts.
Which I read.
All of them.
And other than the ones I already knew, mainly due to Heritage Minutes, I can’t recall any of them. Wait, there was a Sarah Polley quote about working hard.
Maybe it’s not a format that lends itself well to ebooks. Maybe a paper copy would have stuck in my mind more. Maybe it needs to be more like 50 Women In Science, with longer bios so that I have more for my memory to cling to.
In any case, yay Canadian women! I wish I could cram more of you into my brain.
150 Fascinating Facts About Canadian Women by Margie Wolfe went on sale August 15, 2017.
I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
