A popular and financially successful writer, Lucy Maud Montgomery MacDonald (1874-1942) is considered one of Canada's best known and most enduring authors. Her appeal crosses the boundaries of time, age, culture, and gender. Her works are translated into more than a dozen languages; she inspires serious scholarly work and maintains international best-selling status with her shrewd portraits, her minute chronicling of Island and Canadian customs, and her compelling recreations of Island land and seascapes. Montgomery's influence is felt today in almost every area of life on Prince Edward Island -- in education, research, the arts and theatre communities, tourism, land and building preservation, crafts councils, private businesses, and government policies and decisions. Internationally today Montgomery's works are recognized as touchstones for Canadian culture.

How Women Impacted WWII-Vishnu Patel Many have said that Canadian women’s contribution in WWII did lead to an allied victory. Women played a huge role and were very important in WWII. Canadian Women took part in WWII by joining the armed forces or they stayed home to raise families, crops for food and to fill the jobs that the men have left. Women weren’t allowed fighting in battle but they did many other things as well in war. After the war many women continued their career in the military force.
When I was growing up I was never given all the things that I wanted, my parents taught me that I had to work had if I wanted anything, that I only got what I needed not what I wanted. From a young age my parents would make me do chores around the house inside and out along with my siblings and return we would get pocket money at the end of
Since their husbands were laid off, bringing in little or no money, the women went out to look for part time jobs such as being a maid to the wealthier families. The women also had a hard time keeping her young children in school, especially if they lived on a farm because the children would need to help their mother and father with the animals and crops, so they wouldn’t get a proper education. The few women that went to collage had to drop out because the price was too high to afford to stay in. It was harder for women to get a job because they were weaker than men and most likely inexperienced but they would take what they could get, if they could get anything. The women who was at their last resort was to send their children away to work and earn a small pay to buy food.
For approximately 70 years after the end of World War II, our American women have moved into almost every role available that men were already doing except for one job. That will all change soon, as the Department of Defense will be lifting all gender based restrictions on military service starting in January 2016. With this change women will be able to move into more than 220,000 jobs in all military services, which is roughly 10 percent of the entire active and reserve force!2 Well before the impending change in how the military uses its most important resource, which is manpower. There was huge accomplishments that propelled women well before this change that most likely jump started this movement. I’m talking about when two women on 21 August, 2015 made history by becoming the first to graduate from the traditionally all-male Army Ranger School.3 5.
I became a single-parent at the age of 17, being a young and wild teenager trying to keep up with my friends I got caught up. I had several choices but being raised by my grandmother, I knew abortion was not even an answer for me. I once thought about adoption but was determine to right my wrongs by being a woman raising a child that did not ask to be here. The sociological imagination (also called the sociological perspective) helps us to see how the larger social forces influence our personal lives (Hensley, 2011 Page 4). It is much more difficult for a single father or mother to be an effective parent than it is for a father and mother who are working together to rear their children.
We were poor, hard-working people, and I could not understand why being considered an Okie was so negative. My curiosity began early in life, and I ask my maternal grandmother what nationality were we. At that time, I knew we were from Oklahoma, and I thought that being an Okie was just part of who we were. Which was true in a sense, but in a child’s mind, I did not see the whole picture. What she informed me was that we were part Scottish, Irish, and Black Dutch.
