Charlotte Gray I am the author of Sisters in the Wilderness: The Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill (published by Viking-Penguin in Canada, 1999 and Duckworths in the UK, 2001), which won the Canadian Booksellers Association Libris Award for the best non-fiction book, 2000. My previous book, Mrs. King: The Life and Times of Isabel Mackenzie King, published in 1997, was nominated for the Viacom Award and a Governor General's Award. My next book, which will be published by HarperCollins in August 2002, is a biography of the Mohawk poet, E. Pauline Johnson. I was born in
England and came to Canada in 1979. I have honed my peace-making
powers with my three sons. Writing about the lives of nineteenth
century Canadian women is an opportunity to both escape the domestic
testosterone and explore the rich diversity of Canadian history
and women's lives, from a neglected angle. |
