Thanks John Fioravanti for including Jeanne Mathilde Sauvé in your recent Believe It or Not series. She was the first woman Canadian history to take the position of Governor General, in addition to being the first female Speaker of the House the Commons (1980), and being an advocate for peace. Please follow John’s informative blog while you are over there.

Thanks for sharing this post, Christy!
So welcome! You deserve all the recognition for these well-researched posts, John :)
To much women’s history we don’t know. Thanks for sharing this!
Exactly, Pamela! Let’s keep sharing about women we admire :)
Okay! I write female characters who have faults (don’t we all?), but in the end, readers find reason to admire my characters (I certainly hope…) and the decisions they make, the actions they take. Happy New Year, Christy. xo
Great share …a great history of a strong woman..an example of struggle and hard work…
So true about the value of hard work!
