Feminism and the political left come to life in this account of an important early twentieth-century social activist
The political movements and social causes of the turbulent 1920s and 30s are brought to life in this study of the work and times of feminist, socialist, and peace activist Rose Henderson (1871-1937). Her commitment to social justice led to frequent monitoring and repression by the authorities but her contributions to activist thought continue to pose challenges for interpretations of the history of Canada, leftism, labour, and women.
"An important contribution to Canadian history, Campbell's book remedies a historical oversight and honours Henderson's unwavering commitment to other people." Canada's History
"This is a much needed biography! Peter Campbell creatively guides us through the life of a woman who left behind no personal papers, diaries or letters. It is a wonderful feat, and makes significant contributions to the history of Canada, women’s studies, and Left history." Andrée Lévesque, Department of History, McGill University
