Nancy Janovicek is an associate professor of History at the University of Calgary.Carmen Nielson is an associate professor of History at Mount Royal University.

"Anyone engaging in women’s, gender, or feminist history in Canada today will benefit from the book’s thorough consideration of how the field of women’s history, understood broadly, was built, its historiographical trends, and the collaborative effort of historians to de-marginalize women and bring their experiences to the forefront of historical study. The excellent contributions in this book remind us yet again that though the field is rich and deep, much work remains to be done."- Rebecca Beausaert, University of Guelph (Histoire sociale / Social History)
