Muriel Gold, C.M., Ph.D., theatre educator, producer/director, and Quebec theatre historian, is former artistic director of the Saidye Bronfman Centre Theatre (1972-80) where during her tenure, she won acclaim from theatre critics, academics and the public at large. One of the first female artistic directors to be hired in Canada, her multicultural policies, her commitment to staging Canadian plays, and her innovative approach to actor training, earned her the Order of Canada in 2007, the country's highest civilian honour. This book continues her legacy for the next generations and her family. In this book, Muriel, in the form of stories to her grandson, outlines her childhood from birth in the 1930s to growing up in the 1940s marrying, and the changes from a young married woman in the 50s where roles of husband and wife were clearly defined, to her divorce, her career, and a single life of freedom up to the time when she formed a truly egalitarian relationship with a male partner, supportive of her career and colleagues in theatre and the arts. .
