The Unconventional Nancy Ruth
批評家のレビュー
“Immensely readable … a moving account of a daughter setting out to make her mom proud.”—Gayatri Kumar, Literary Review of Canada
“Retired Canadian Senator Nancy Ruth is a compelling subject for this meticulously researched, very well-written and extremely honest biography by Dr. Ramona Lumpkin.”—Brenlee Carrington, Winnipeg Free Press
“Ramona Lumpkin … has meticulously recorded Ruth’s life, including her dedication to numerous feminist causes. Thanks to this impressive volume, Nancy Ruth’s unconventional life, and her many accomplishments, can take their rightful place in our history.”—Michele Landsberg, Herizons Magazine
あらすじ・解説
Born into the prominent Jackman family, Nancy Ruth forged her own unique journey as a philanthropist, feminist politician, and activist.
Born into privilege but expected to use her advantages for the good of others, Senator Nancy Ruth has led an uncommon, unconventional life. From her religious ministry to rewriting Canada’s national anthem to make it gender-neutral, this outspoken, complicated woman has put her stamp on Canada’s public life. Her generous feminist philanthropy allowed numerous women’s organizations to flourish, and her talents for friendship and for controversy meant the work was serious but never dull. Like Nancy herself, this book is rich in surprises and contradictions about a remarkable woman who used her privilege to support social change and the battle to better women’s lives in Canada.
