Think Mondo Canuck – but for women

Canuck Chicks and Maple Leaf Mamas is the first Canadian pop culture book to focus exclusively on the lives of Canadian women. Author Ann Douglas takes her readers on an estrogen-powered romp through two centuries of Canadian history and pop culture, zeroing in on landmark moments in the lives of Canadian women, including the invention of the electric refrigerator, the tampon, the miniskirt, the Tupperware party, and the birth control pill. Along the way, she manages to unearth hundreds of fascinating and little-known facts about famous-and infamous Canadian women.
