Two Women's Contributions to Canadian Culture. Wafa Nurdin

Women through countless decades have influenced Canadian culture. They have stimulated the minds of many generations of Canadians, whether it be young or old, and helped create a diverse cultural background of Canada through their unique artistic talent, values, and their accomplishments in life. A prime example of one of these Canadian women is Lucy Maud Montgomery. A woman of the early 1900's, she published one of the greatest Canadian novels of the 21st century: …showed first 75 words of 691 total…

…showed last 75 words of 691 total…deal with changes in the economy, women's rights, and the Great War. Montgomery, with her writing gave Canadian women a literary name and has raised awareness about Canadian culture in a time when a woman was not considered equal and the caste system was ever present. Rita McNeil and Lucy Maud Montgomery are two women of many that give the Canadian woman a voice and that depict the struggles of their surroundings through their art.
