Description: "With Margaret Addison, Jean O'Grady reveals the importance of the first woman to hold a major post in Canadian women's higher education. This biography shows how Addison pioneered modern questions of co-education, the possibility of gender-neutral studies, and the nature of womanliness. Her innovations, such as student government and lectures on careers and sex education, were widely copied in other universities."--BOOK JACKET.
