Banner: Women in Canadian Life and Society, Music, and Literature

Canadian women have contributed to Canada's musical heritage as performers, composers or songwriters and to Canada's literary heritage as writers and poets. Biographies have also been included for a selection of lesser known women from across the country who through their strength, courage and determination have made significant contributions to the development of Canadian life and society. With a few exceptions, these "pioneers" were all born before 1900.

Also included are two selective bibliographies, focusing on Canadian Women's History and Canadian Women in Music.
