McClung","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst-wave feminist, activist, and social reformer, Nellie McClung ranked as one of the most popular Canadian authors and among the liveliest critics of Canada's male-dominated society of the early 1900s. Well ahead of her time, McClung was known as a writer who dared to discuss taboo topics, and for her inimitable humour, which rivals that of Stephen Leacock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis selection of her best short fiction includes depictions of difficult rural living conditions in Western Canada as well as \"consciousness-raising\" stories reflecting the undue restrictions on women and the anti-female laws and attitudes of her day. While most were published in magazines between 1906 and 1931, a few of these stories appear here for the first time. In addition, a detailed introduction discusses McClung's life and analyses the themes and stylistic touches of each of the stories making up this unique anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nellie McClung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0776604244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780776604244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Ottawa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1997 pg. 107","brand":"Nellie McClung","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47243950194943,"sku":"9780776604244","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4d6774c-ac4a-46c4-8338-38812e300127.jpg?v=1758134559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stories-subversive-nellie-mcclung-9780776604244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
