Title: Feminine Gaze, The
Subtitle: A Canadian Compendium of Non-Fiction Women Authors and Their Books, 1836-1945
Description: "Many Canadian women fiction writers have become justifiably famous. But what about women who have written non-fiction?" "When Anne Innis Dagg set out on a personal quest to make such non-fiction authors better known, she expected to find just a few dozen. To her delight, she unearthed 476 writers who have produced over 674 books.".

"These women describe not only their country and its inhabitants, but a remarkable variety of other subjects: from the story of transportation to the legacy of Canadian missionary activity around the world. While most of the writers lived in what is now Canada, others were British or American travellers who visited Canada and reported on what they found here.".

"This compendium has brief biographies of all these women, short descriptions of their books, and a comprehensive index of their books' subject matters."--BOOK JACKET.
