By Rebick, Judy2018., General, Anansi Call No: Bio R289h Availability:1 of 1 At Your LibraryView an interview with Judy Rebick from CBC Radio's The Current website. Summary Note: Renowned Canadian feminist Judy Rebick tells the story of the eleven personalities she developed in order to help her cope with, and survive, childhood sexual abuse. Rebick chronicles her struggle with depression in the 1980s, when she became a high-profile spokesperson for the pro-choice movement during the fight to legalize abortion. It was in the 1990s, when she took on her biggest challenge as a public figure by becoming president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, that her memories began to surface and became too persistent to ignore. Rebick reveals her moment of discovery: meeting the eleven personalities; uncovering her repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse; and then communicating with each personality in therapy and on the page in a journal - all of this while she is leading high-profile national struggles against a Conservative government. With courage and honesty, Rebick lays bare the public and private battles that have shaped her life. Judy Rebick is now a frequent commentator on CBC Radio and Television. She lives in Toronto.

[2014], Adult, Second Story Press Call No: Bio M145s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Elsie MacGill achieved many firsts in science and engineering at a time when women were considered to be inferior in the sciences. In 1923, at the age of nineteen, she became the first woman to attend engineering classes at the University of Toronto. She was the first woman in North America to hold a degree in aeronautical engineering and the first woman aircraft designer in the world. As chief engineer for the Canadian Car and Foundry Company she oversaw the production of the Hawker Hurricane, and designed a series of modifications to equip the plain for cold weather flying. Her Maple Leaf trainer may still be the only plane ever to be completely designed by a woman. And she did all this while suffering from polio. In this biography we learn that she supervised 4500 workers and produced about 1450 Hawker Hurricanes by the end of WWII. Elsie was a popular heroine of her time, inspiring the comic book Queen of the Hurricanes in the 1940s. In later life she became a powerful feminist activist, advocating for the rights of women and children."--From publisher.
