The history “bug” bit her in the 1970s as her interest in women's history emerged from involvement in social movements, particularly the women's movement. Her interest was also strengthened by significant female mentors at the University of Toronto. The exciting potential of social history and her social activism helped shape her research interests and theoretical frameworks. Women's work and women's involvement in political movements have been the central themes in her historical research and publications. During her thirty-two years in the profession, students have played an integral role in making her career such a rewarding and privileged experience. 03 2014 78 96 10.3138/chr.95106 10.3138/chr.95106 https://utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/chr.95106 https://utppublishing.com/doi/pdf/10.3138/chr.95106
