Trade Review
"Through presenting a profile of Elsie Knott, an interview with a current young woman chief, and an examination of the campaigning process as experienced by a female candidate from her own community, the author breathes life into the research. Firekeepers of the Twenty-First Century is unique, engaging, and groundbreaking." Jo-Anne Fiske, University of Lethbridge
