Description

Jill Downie (au). Uncovers the secret of Alice Freeman/Faith Fenton, the unconventional daughter of a shopkeeper who took on another identity to penetrate the closed, very male world of journalism. As columnist Faith Fenton she moved with ease through society, equally at home with the rich & powerful & the less fortunate. This is a stylish, richly documented portrait of turn-of-the-century Canada. Meticulously researched & filled with the spirit of the times, it brings alive a witty & intelligent woman whose compassionate concerns are as relevant today as they were a hundred years ago.
