Grandmothers, mothers and daughters speak to us of their personal lives, their triumphs and achievements. Encompassing three generations, their histories give us a sampling of the rich diversity of women's life experiences in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

Introductions contextualize the stories and provide comprehensive overviews of the social, economic, political and feminist developments in the province or territory during the last century.
