BOOK - Nellie McClung
By Charlotte Gray
Feminist, politician, and social activist, Nellie McClung altered Canada's political landscape, leaving a legacy that has long survived her.
She had a wicked wit, and her convictions and campaigns helped shape the Canada we live in today. Acclaimed writer Charlotte Gray, who has forged a distinguished career exploring the lives of such notable women as Susanna Moodie and Pauline Johnson, is the perfect writer to reinterpret McClung.

BOOK - Sisters In The Wilderness, The Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Traill
By Charlotte Gray
Using correspondence and personal papers as well as their published works, this biography tells the tale of two nineteenth century women who travelled to Canada expecting to make their fortunes and join the cream of colonial society only to face desperate privation: forest fires, wild animals, frostbite and starvation. Their fortitude and hard-won success as writers and the first chroniclers of the native flora made them icons of early Canadian literature.

BOOK - Reluctant Genius, The Passionate Life and Inventive Mind of Alexander Graham Bell
By Charlotte Gray
Impeccably researched, and written with Charlotte Gray’s unerring eye for personal and historical detail, Reluctant Genius tells the story of a man very different from his public image. Most of us think of Alexander Graham Bell as a white-bearded sage, but the young Alec Bell was a passionate and wild-eyed genius, a man given to fits of brilliance and melancholy. His technologies for photophones, tetrahedrals, flying machines and hydrodomes laid the groundwork for future achievement.

BOOK - Flint and Feather, Life and Times of E. Pauline Johnson, Tekahionwake
By Charlotte Gray
An elegant and exceptional portrait of Pauline Johnson Tekahionwake, written by a #1 bestselling author. Why does this exotic woman, the 19th-century daughter of a Mohawk chief and an English gentlewoman, continue to haunt and inform our collective imagination? Charlotte Gray conjures up the magic and the myth of the poet and performer, breathing Technicolor life into one of Canada’s most exciting—and often misunderstood—historical figures. Pauline was a woman of many selves and identities both Mohawk and English: a native advocate who captivated white audiences in Canada, England and the United States; a lyric poet who performed vaudevillian skits; a New Woman who wrote for Mother’s Magazine; an incurable romantic who never married.

BOOK - Mrs. King, The Life and Times of Isabel MacKenzie King
By Charlotte Gray
Mrs. King is the superbly told story of a woman lost in the shadows of Canadian history. Daughter of William Lyon Mackenzie and mother of Canada's longest-serving prime minister, Isabel Mackenzie King was intimately involved in the changing political and socail landscape of Canada. Yet we have known very little about her. In this meticulously researched and beautifully crafted biography, award winning writer Charlotte Gray brings Isabel Grace Mackenzie King into the light while painting a highly absorbing portrait of our Canadian past.
