“I am thankful to be living in these fighting days, when there are so many things waiting to be done.” -Fran

“Never retract, never explain, never apologize – get the thing done and let them howl,” said Nellie McClung, who sets the tone for The Fighting Days, a story about winning the vote for women and finding one’s self in the process. Francis Beynon, a farm girl, comes to the big city to stay with her sister. She lands a job at a local newspaper and is introduced to Nellie, who at first appears quite heroic. Soon, Francis begins to feel that moral concessions are being made by the suffragists in order to serve their own agenda. Powerful and shocking, this Manitoba story will leave you looking at this volatile time in a whole new way.
