 . The Chatelaine’s Second Year
   And What It Offers You

The Women Who Made
Canada

A Series in Heroics

HO are the_v—-those marvelous, strong—minded,
and whole-hearted women who made Canada?
They are as diverse as the tides of Nova Scotia
and the sage of the prairies, yet they have all contributed
to one great whole. You will see them as the Chatelaine

presents them province by province—the steady-eyed wives and mothers of the Maritimes who sailed the seven sefis
with their husbands, absorbing culture, sharing adventure; the great French Women of_ Quebec, Comfertlng t 6
Indians, establishing hospitals, founding schools; the embattled women of Ontario, fighting beside their men_ for
home, country and British rights; the women of the prairies and British Columbia, carrying high courage and civil-
R ization into the Wilderness, crossing the Rockies, riding wild waters, playing their parts in the tradition of the Hudson

 

Bay posts and the great mines. Their descendants people Canada to-day—their very names are. well known in the
social life of this century. Read this heroic story of Canada s women during 1929 in The Chatelaine.
