Description

The forgotten lives of Canadian actresses who graced stages around the world at the turn of the twentieth century. Taking the approach of feminist collective biography, this book tells the story of the Canadian women who forged careers as professional actresses from the 1870s to the 1940s. Appearing in Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, they were integral in theatrical networks and helped shape transnational middle-class culture.
