New Review for She Won The Vote For Women by Robert E. Hawkins!

"Some seek the spotlight; others generate their own light. Lillian Beynon Thomas was among the latter ... This academic but entertaining book brings to life a key moment in Canadian history."

Cave-In by Pam Withers received a new review from The British Columbia Review:

β€œCave-In is very present-day in its portrayal of greed and capitalism doing what it does bestβ€”run amok and cause ruinβ€”and political forces. All is captured well and, alas, feels real.”
