Ladies, the Gwich'in, and the Rat (The)
Travels on the Athabasca, Mackenzie, Rat, Porcupine, and Yukon Rivers in 1926 |
Clara Vyvyan
Editor I. S. MacLaren, Lisa LaFramboise |
 |
| In 1926, two British women came from Cornwall to Edmonton and travelled through northern Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon by rail, sternwheeler, and canoe. For the women, it was a liberating experience, yet Vyvyan's narrative, supported by MacLaren and LaFramboise's insightful editorial work, reveals the imperialist attitudes underlying their travels.
