The “Women in History” exhibit at Billy Bishop Home and Museum - A National Historic Site looks at the contributions women made to the war efforts during both the First and Second World Wars.

One of the ways that Billy Bishop’s niece, Mary Worth Bishop, contributed was by joining the Canadian Women’s Army Corps in June, 1943. Mary served overseas as a stenographer and was also one of 6 women chosen to assist in the publicity work for the 5th Victory Loan drive.

In this second book by Donna Mann, Agnes MacPhail continues to fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher. She attends Owen Sound collegiate and finds a platform from which to share her gift of speech and the confidence to speak out. This is not easy for this country girl, and the tenacity and sense of humour we see later in her adult life, is give free reign as a teenager. Author, Donna Mann will be on site at the South Grey Museum October 9 from 10:30am to 12:30pm . Copies of Aggie's Dream can be purchased at the Museum or from Brucedale Press.
