I am in Honours History and English, taking one or two evening courses a year. In my teaching position with Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board as a grade 5 teacher and teacher-librarian, I find my University courses keep me current with various trends in Historical thought and bring a freshness to my teaching. I am a lifelong reader and passionate advocate of books for children.
The profiles of Doreen Smith and Una Stothard are a labour of love. Doreen was my mother-in-law and Una is my husband's aunt. Their true stories bring to life a difficult but exciting period for British women.
