My Life at the Bar And Beyond

McGill-Queen's University Press is proud to announce Footprints Series edited by renowned McGill University historian Suzanne Morton. The life stories of individual women and men who were participants in interesting events help nuance larger historical narratives, at times reinforcing those narratives, at others contradicting them.
