The library of Simon Fraser University offers online, free of charge, biographical and publication information for about 470 (!) women who lived in Canada or wrote about Canada, and who authored an English-language book or pamphlet of fiction or poetry published BEFORE 1940. This collection includes titles of publications and references to archival resources.
Directed by Dr. Carole Gerson, this project has been supported by CFI, SSHRC, the University of British Columbia, and Simon Fraser University.
