Out from the Shadows: Women and their work in 19th c. Toronto

Author Elizabeth Gillian Muir discusses her book, An Unrecognized​​ Contribution: Women and their work in 19th century Toronto, which details the work that women did in the city --which could have been any large city-- work that has been hidden and not recognized in early histories. While women did own factories, taverns, pubs, stores, market gardens, butcher shops, brickyards and other commercial ventures, this fact has been hidden for decades. ​The presentation will be highlighted with photos and time for a Q & A.
