Book SynopsisWe Shall Persist is the first book to detail the distinctive political contexts and common problems that characterized campaigns for women's suffrage and other rights in Atlantic Canada.
Trade ReviewMacDonald has synthesized and condensed a remarkable amount of historiography and, especially, archival research into this slim book, while also doing justice to four separate provincial stories.
