About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "In addition to her involvement in the suffrage movement, McClung argued for the ordination of women, and was in favour of prohibition because of the suffering and harm to women and children she saw as a result of alcohol abuse. Devoted to her own husband and children, she championed women's rights in the home, but also lobbied for women's right to work and to decent treatment and wages in the workforce. She was a determined and generous advocate of human rights of all Canadians regardless of sex, class, or colour." "Firing the Heather is an inspiring story of a feisty and compassionate woman who left Canada a very different place than she found it."
