PIONEERING WOMEN OF MONTREAL (1642 - 1771)
Strong women played major roles in the founding of Montreal and its survival in the late 17th and early 18th century.
Join me on a three-hour journey through time in Old Montreal with its exquisite architecture, cobblestone streets and old-world charm.
You’ll retrace the steps of three generations of women from the Godé family, the founder of the second-oldest hospital in North America, Canada’s first historian, and a trailblazing teacher and “matchmaking facilitator”.
Listen to stories you likely won’t find in guidebooks, giving you a deeper understanding of what life was like in the early years of the colony.
