PIONEER WOMEN OF CANADA'S BOOK TRADE
This week I have chosen to write about two pioneer women in Canada's booktrade. Elizabeth Bushell was Canada's first presswoman and compositor. She helped to establish the Halifax Gazette, Canada's first newspaper. Dora Ridout was born in Toronto and became an expert antiquarian and bookseller. Both of these women played a big role in Canada's book trade.
