No Place Like Home: Diaries and Letters of Nova Scotia Women 1771-1938
These colourful diaries and personal letters provide fascinating insights into the lives of Nova Scotian women in periods of rapid and dramatic historical change. The editors have discovered a wealth of material chronicling the lives of women since the late-eighteenth century, women with rich and varied life-experiences: missionaries, teachers, office workers, farmers, housekeepers and factory workers, both young and old, rural and urban. No Place Like Home offers immediate, intimate reflections on the remarkable range of experiences enjoyed--and suffered--by Nova Scotia women.

Its a Privilege To Drop Into This Book For A Visit
Published by Cleo , 29 days ago
Thanks to the authors, their academic institutions and their team of archivists, grant writers, grad-students, transcribers and others who made “No Place Like Home” possible. Reading the personal journal entries of 15 women presented in this book made it possible for me to get a sense of what my first through fifth great-grand mothers' lives might have been like through these three distinct periods between 1771 to 1939. I am grateful to all who believed in this project and made this book possible.
